death turns |
slow gaze |
quick wit |
mystic glaze |
he stepped in front |
a fast Amtrak |
on track to go |
places beyond pain |
man on a mission |
to the last stop |
who's first |
teared and torn away |
eggshell thin and torn apart |
over but not easy |
leaving not even a small band |
on hand to rail |
to mourn |
The Conductor |
against the coldness of it all |
screams
of why me? |
wrong question |
why? |
still no answer |
the sheer magnitude |
no turn around |
so selfish to
the end |
look down |
this latest incident |
kiss quick |
time to retire |
no time |
to try |
really |
to heal |
