it was a long way
on public transport
stretched with secrets.
they sailed the back of the bus,
she liked what it did to the
bottom half of her body
and he was beyond caring.
he told her where he was going
but not what was happening.
he told her he had
“feelings”
he needed help with.
things he did not like were
making him….what?
don’t dare tell her that.
where were the words for the
woman who rocked him to sleep
with a violent hand, who
haunted his dreams with
her foot on his throat.
it was a long way
on public transport
stretched with secrets.
another slice of my verse novel in progress.
