Valerie Gillies
Our train and passengers spin at a height
above sea level, it bottles us
up at the launch of the night.
We grow momentous.
Across ravelling space
piers and girders link,
eyes shine outside, a face
on the blink.
Skeletons make no fuss
when they join arms with us.
If we look vain
they lead us in the train
of their steelbone embrace.
Combining at this point in space,
Strange couplings these:
Youth and joy, fear and disease.
We who are full
of life will fall.
The bony ones arrest
us, clasped to their gridiron chests,
as to the unexpected mate
we feel the pull and gravitate.
