I travel the wrong way on this train, South instead of North,
though even if I had the ticket to take the other way, this train won't take me
as far as I would need to go
the cold river
flowing alongside of these tracks, making me think I might make the trip
upstream by boat when even that is not possible
no welcome mat on her
doorstep for me
I ride this train to places I have been before, seeing sites
I've seen
only none of these
are connected to ones that recall with her
her old world clinging
to the cliffs where I stroll from time to time, feeling the absence she's left
behind long ago and now far away, this place where no train goes, in a
direction impossible to trace. a one-way ticket to nowhere
