Empty

v.m.t

a soft blanket of snow

covers buildings

& houses

in this small town

streetlights glow warm above me

i am here

below the heavy clouded sky

& in the silent night

a train whistles in the distance

& my heart pounds

& the train whistle blows

& i stand frozen on the tracks

empty
