The Train Rebecca Linton Litrus Staff Member The train he slowed
amidst the clanging of winter bells,
and the wind came down
on the icy speed bumps in the middle of town

Yes, my life has changed
as you fawn forward radiantly
as if departing

I laid with a man,
to break a fast.
Now I am tame
and take food from his fingers.

While I fought the urge to run along the tracks
laughing tear streaked in the wind of day.
Singing farewell,
singing farewell, although you will return at 4:00.
