as if it were
the only thing
that matters
Love waits
freight train
while last year
may have been about
penitence
I have been absolved
and this year is
reclamation
certitude
and power
I’ve paid my dues
no groveling
no explanations
what is
is more than
good enough
the train moves on
from the coast
deeper into
the interior
of the heart land
