Notes About The Poem

SUSPENDED

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The subway tunnel exhales as the train rushes through. For one suspended instant between stations, a stranger's eyes lock yours— centuries fold into a flicker of recognition. Then darkness swallows the moment whole. Only the rails keep humming.
