The silence of the night is deafening.
We rush into the darkness, twisting and turning.
Inside, it is weird.
Almost creepy.
The compartment is a mass of snores and sighs.
Dreams spilling out.
I lie awake.
Lights flicker in the passage.
The train rumbles on, eating up the miles.
Taking me farther from you.
In space and time.
I fall into myself, lying in a cell;
Cramped and my movements frozen.
Slightly claustrophobic and jaded.
I hear your fading laughter in my head.
I am losing it all.
If this is forever, my soul is lodged in the wrong place.
I want to be jointed to your ribs,
And lie beneath you for all eternity.
