changing trains
on the
coastal path
and later on the beach
something kind is said
and then the subject must be changed
as two eyes become heavy
for no apparent reason
something right’s been done
the subject must be changed
come the
feast, cry over the hardship
now the famine has passed, the famine can be mourned
come
the feast, cry over the hardship
now the family has passed, the family can be mourned
the station
isn’t wretched
the platform isn’t cruel
the carriage not malevolent
the passers by benign
the fields are far from doleful
the sunshine isn’t harsh
the table isn’t hateful
but the journey is brutal
if it doesn’t take you, it leaves its mark
