Night Train

 

Was it the aroma of

Her

Peeling oranges,

Or the sound of

Her

 Cracking walnuts,

That got passengers

Peeking in their purses,

Picking in their pockets,

Searching for something.

Or was it

Her

Smoldering eyes,

Her

Calm, come here perfume,

That prodded people

Into appearing preoccupied

With things that

Didn’t matter.
