Poetry
an innocent perhaps frightening trailer
He imagines a man, who imagines his wife burning for him at home…

on his doublewide’s deck romantically fraught
he scouts trains the skeletal tracks
vanish a mirage behind the trailer park
his view a canvas split in two
the dehydrated yellow grass field
the blue Mogollon sky and as if inspired
the locomotive appears and inside the iron face
behind the distinct light he imagines a man
who imagines his wife burning for him at home
a conductor in love with a hearth somewhere
to fire-gaze watching rather the space between
the flames the elusive air perhaps ever intruding air
