Station
By TheUltimateOutlaw
The death-throes of fluorescent lights
Pooling
On the floor of the station
Flashing shadow
Then glow
Then back
To black.
The train rumbling off;
Down a
Steel and electric track.
Black pumps falling
First left
Then right
Steps precise.
She Is
Crossing the pavement platform
Umbrella
Clutched in one hand;
Suitcase in the other
Neither hellos
Nor goodbyes
In her smile.

Well I would certainly offer my interest, I do enjoy the use of line in this piece, and for its subject. With that in mind, it can make it hard to read when searching for the next line. Well Done

Champion. Even the setout is exceptional. Very colourful, yet dark. Loved it
