Terminal
At this station, nothing stays.
Everything runs other ways:
the tracks and cars,
the passengers
aboard with luggage
then the blurs
the motion, smoke,
our kiss goodbye
as others also start to cry.
I see you leave and try to smile
as memory gives into mile.
Farewells
well-wishing:
everyone
embracing
waving
never done
until that last train
chugs away
as I must go
though not today.
