Station of Almost
The platform is quiet and long.
The timetable is torn and old.
I watch the empty rails extend
Into a story yet untold.
The station clock ticks, slow and deep.
The station clock has all the time.
It mocks the hope that I still keep
For a bell and a distant chime.
I see the ghost of a stopped train
In the dust on the glass door.
I hear the echo of a name
That I called out, and called no more.
The tracks are rusted, cold, and bare.
The benches hold a single coat.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
The waiting is the only air
That this small, still world can float.
No whistle splits the afternoon.
No headlight splits the gray.
I am a figure carved from noon
That has forgotten how to stray.
And yet, I stay. I will not leave.
The sunset spills across the track.
For in this space that I believe,
The train is almost, almost back.
So I wait on, a patient ghost
Where no train comes, and none will start.
Waiting for the train I want the most
The one that never leaves the heart.

"I especially loved the final line. "The one that never leaves the heart" Like treasured memories in this capsule of a place." -
