Oncoming Train

light in the distance stutters and winks
disappears.
there again. brighter.
closer.

the ground rumbles beneath my feet
vibration in perfect symphony with
the rattling disorder in my head

untethered
brightly colored balloon drifting
willy nilly taken by random winds
free
falling
apart

lovely approaching light, angel bright
blister blight, hug me tight
just right, nighty night
put out the light
sleep tight

beneath the wheels
