Underground Part 10 to 18

 










(X)

Maybe see you later?

Her question calls out to him

Tepid in her guilt. 


(XI)

Complicated these are

The guard answers you smiling

Opening the gate.


(XII)

Re reading your texts

You fail to see the crowd at

The back building.


(XIII)

Lost in a tempter

Your rubbish day gets even worse

When you miss your stop.


(XIV)

Noting down train times

the more deserted each is

feels more heartbreaking


(XV)

Running from the train

their relief is clear rushing

out of the station.


(XVI)

You smile after he 

Hides his wedding ring then slips 

getting off the train


(XVII)

September darkness

Makes the late running train feel

even much later 


(XVIII)

He doesn’t wake him up

until he has missed his stop 

smiling silently
