in a rush...


In a rush it came swirling
a locomotive – with cars and engine –
the full train came
whirling to a full stop
in front of me -
and I wondered where?

Where did it come from –
as dream or a vision
full of bellowing steam and power
unlike anything I knew
as I wake up
covered in wonder
all poetry
and confusion
to scribble the lines
so as not to forget.

In a rush it came swirling
as love
the full train came
whirling to a full stop
in front of me
and I wondered where
did it come from?
