TRAIN HOME 1995.

A WOMAN GOING HOME BY TRAIN AFTER A DAY AT THE OFFICE STARED AT BY A MAN THINKING OF HER FEMALE LOVER IN 1995

Geraldine was rocked
by the movement
of the train back home again

work done
the office busier
than ever

but she thinking
of Holly back at home
preparing dinner
some French cuisine

recalled undressing her
the night before
the whispered words
kissing her neck
arms about her
kiss kiss
lips on shoulders

the man in the train
sitting opposite
stares at her
his dark eyes
sucking her into
his secret dreams

nothing or no one
is what they or it seems
Holly had said

his lips tongued
his eyes looked away
shyly carrying her off
in his dark pupils
like dark pits

a station rushed by
the window

soon to be home
undress before dinner
shower and Holly saying
shall I wash your back?

the slow sway of the train
as it started off again
along the track

the man stared again
eyeing her stealthily
like some thief
in the night

the men in the office
pass her unaware
she has a female lover
unaware what they do
or why and how

the office manager
sat at his desk
absorbed by his work
on his large brown desk
a photo of his wife
and family sit smug
and away until
the end of day

Holly lay there
that morning naked
with the morning sun
licking her skin
Geraldine recalled
gazing at the man
eyeing her deeply

and Holly's pubes
whispering for more play
she smiled remembering

the train slowed
for the next stop
she got ready to go
stood towering over
the man who stared
and she glared.
