A poem about finding love in unlikely places

The Conductor, Part 1


A spinster's life

Is a plain thing

Solid, yet lacking

The familiar

Intimacy


No shrill voices

Of children

No quiet

Conversations

After love


She is always

Predictable,

On time and stable

Until she meets

The Conductor


Each morning

As she boards

Her train

He is there

And he sees her


Nobody sees her

Until now

Electricity which

Was untapped

Surges within


The fat gold band

On his finger

Slams the door

But still, yet

He sees her


Unwillingly,

Her heart races

Beats in her

Like a racehorse

Charging the gate


Each day

She looks for him

Each day

He sees her

She is alive
