28.7.23

a woman came


a woman came off the bus 

all boots and thighs

ass and breasts and

sighed.


she shook her mane

reminiscent of coils of

cooling lava flows or

jet asphalt

hastily roped in a street gutter.


her heels chipped concrete

as she walked away

lighting an unfiltered cigarette.


the silenced wood match bounced

in her wake of arrested eyes and 

churning thoughts breaths held.


she was as direct

as an unmanned locomotive

shattering whatever might get in her way.


and tempting one

not to move 

off the track.
