Snowfield Visions
Little bits
of glitter
dropping trails of shimmering
as they speckle out
into nothing
and I’m there
my ass is falling asleep on the concrete
I’ve waited here
sitting
watching the sparkle fade
for what feels like
oh at least the turning
of 10 million waves
across the sea
but I never said
whether I meant all at once
whether star soup
could soothe the soul
or not
just some wooden planks
a whistle of a digital bell
that lightly cracks the speakers
to ring just over your voice
at the other end
of the terminal
all a little dimmer
the fade of the glimmer
the legs thinning
running down the glass
and the wrought frame benches
never get any comfier
but the wind
through the slats
gets a little cozier
on your back
each time the train
cuts its teeth passing by
on the snow white track
that goes off
until it fades like glitter
dropping from the sky.
