	I see, in carriage side-reflections, Tangerine iron-strike embers, Landing their lashes on the horizon, As we soar into the vast of night, As if fired from the distant cannon Of tonight's escaping sun. Pre-recorded communiques, Urge the carriage shufflers, To enjoy the refreshments of the Trolleyman, And to dial-in a Terrorist at the most insouciant whisper Of their kindly suspicion. I acknowledge this thought for what it is, A thought. Presenting itself as a cloud. Billowing in nature and transient in spirit. I thank the cloud for its interpretation of Visual events prior to my slipping eyes As eclipsing moons, eloping. Focussing now on the breaths, A falling ravine summoned by nostrils And stilled by the breadth And chosen tranquility of the Lagoon, At whose feet it lands kneeling. Enraptured by the evocation of calm. A limestone breakwater surfaces, Amorously brightening from sunlight, I tread its shattered path, I perceive in my periphery, A galaxy of winking star-births, Blinking in and out on the water’s silk veil. The cloudless waves that softly swell and scatter, Are painted so by my breaths. I reach my hand for the water’s touch… When my knee smacks the refreshment trolley, And my eyes open to its looming inscription: “Relax and enjoy the journey”.
