In a Tube Train Forgive me; weight of numbers, not my will imposed this man upon your private space. My eyes have little choice but rest upon this woman’s face that fills my whole perception. I feel I know you: hollow cheeks and lines too deep for one your age all speak to me of sleepless nights and proud hopes long eroded into sand. Upon the breath we share I taste the sad perfume of love decaying. I am a part of you; imprisoned, thumbnail size, I stare back from your fishbowl eyes that hold without possessing. At last the train sets free its captives, flesh recoils and lungs receive the air denied them for so long. You leave in haste, but at the door you stop look back, you realise. We were more close than lovers. I was in your eyes .. ... and you in mine.
