Traindrops
Combined with human emotion and the spirits of the skies
is a mixture of concurrent raindrops and teardrops.
From the corner of her eye and down her cheek
rolls these traindrops.
Vibrating against a song she sings to ease the pain
and traveling over her lips is this liquid train.
Pool, Pool, Slide, Slide. Pool, Pool, Slide, Slide;
A rhythm that eases the pain.
Next, a hankerchief white as snow and clear as now
removes the traindrops from beneath her brow.
But deep inside they continue to roll
around the train station that is her soul.
