Lizz Murphy - Poem 254: Train v.

TRAIN

v.

Trying to remove a jacket in the restricted space

reminds me of the bird preening in the fork end

of a branch trying not to fall off and the poet I met

in Belfast talking of the pull since retirement the

busyness of not being busy the lack of writing

‘It picks up the sky’ who said that

what a heavy load

must break all baggage weight limits
