Dreams



At the Station
Filling water
Widowed mother
Clad in White

Steam Engine  
Blowing Smoke
Synchronized Whistling
A different tune
Pitch and Volume

Station Empty
Midday Heat
Eerie feeling
Mother standing
Nearby watching

Carriages overflowing
Passengers hanging
Window without
Grail or Shutters

Mother seated
Window seat
Here to there
Jump cut edit
Far away
In the heat
Water in hand
Lonely I stand

Platforms empty
Train on its journey
Alone in the Yard
Longing for her
Water and Fear
Hand and heart

Station Nameless
Rooms Deserted
 Terminus unclear
Odyssey in Obscurity

Opera of insecurity
Played repeatedly
Time warp Train
Again and again

Eyes opened wide
Soaked in Sweat
Skipped a beat
Dream state a fright

Sequential dream
A Screenplay
Scene by Scene
Looped in Memory
Played multiple times
