Sound of the tunnels

 


As I turned the corner

you faded onto the night

like the closing doors

of the tube train carriage.

You were

flowing away under

the city,

I was standing

waiting,

watching

the currents

of train rivers.

 

Like a bass tuned too deep,

my inaudible weeps

creep and mingle with

the sound of the underground.

Seeping into brittle bones.

I sit beside the tracks,

on the platform throne,

eyes to the ground,

no crown to own.

Nowhere to go.

Just a lone traveller

in a city with nowhere to turn.

 

Eyes glazed

with salty tears,

blur the vision,

trains smear

 through the dark.

like oil on a canvas,

a work of art.

Colour and texture,

painted onto black.

Blending

like the bending

sounds of the tunnels

echoing back.

A dull echo.

A feint hello

or one final goodbye,

who knows?

 

I wipe away the tear,

remembering the kiss

that brought me here.

Led by dreams,

I let myself blend

into the moonlight

like the bending

sounds

of the underground,

echoing

through the night.
