Description
Nine o'clock train
rumbles past outside,
it's pouring sheets of ice.
Wheels screech
against their tracks,
lost in the howling wind
and the soundtrack of
my own nightmares.

Hold me?

I hate the curtains
hanging limp,
eaten by moths
and sun-saturated.
They distort my sense
of time- it's morning
I think.
I'm wide awake.

The cloth is snapped down
by one gust of wind,
and I'm sure it's all
over for me.
Edge of nowhere,
becoming nobody,
no one to save me.

And where were you
When my house blew away?
"We're not in Edmonton anymore"
When the train derailed
and all the contents flew out,
spilled like rain
into trenches and gutters?

I'm not the same girl
who you lovehated once.
But I'm drenched in
the same fears,
and still
you won't hold me.
