disembark
can the churning wheels of a bus
deliver me away from that which has lent me to cry so long
and so keening?
How many transfers have i sat through
ticket in my pocket
perched on shoddy luggage
anticipating release
only to find the same sorrow
taking the seat next to mine
i beseach you
quit following me
don't i deserve escape
from unrequited, defeated love
I want to ride away from this terminal
a lone passenger
disembark
come to rest in the greeting
of fresh clean love
shuck off the stench
of stale traveling companions
i want to be forgiven for keeping
such negligent company
now boarding at gate 7
deliver me away from that which has lent me to cry so long
and so keening?
How many transfers have i sat through
ticket in my pocket
perched on shoddy luggage
anticipating release
only to find the same sorrow
taking the seat next to mine
i beseach you
quit following me
don't i deserve escape
from unrequited, defeated love
I want to ride away from this terminal
a lone passenger
disembark
come to rest in the greeting
of fresh clean love
shuck off the stench
of stale traveling companions
i want to be forgiven for keeping
such negligent company
now boarding at gate 7
