A group of photos taken at the Schenectady train station in New York gives rise to thoughts of hitting the open road and running away from relationships gone bad. A little background music from Janis Joplin, and you have a perfect afternoon's escape. Blogpost and photographs at: blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Horizons -- Schenectady
(for John -- who loves trains)
Murk and stillness
govern, and in lieu
of goodbyes I would proffer
only a few terse words
to help resolve my endless
need to compensate --
for what?
For the loss of boundaries?
for an empty handshake,
cold before my hand even leaves
yours and grips the valise?
Never have I felt so
fallen into being, never so
imaginary, obtuse, and
purposed through.
My fare takes me not
halfway far enough
away from you,
not almost within an inch
of room to spare.
