cars & trains

the sun always sets

the wind on my neck
calls it's name, past my back
and it sings it's songs

and i try to forget
my own name, like the sun
the sun always sets, burns out it's incandescence

with my eyes behind my hands
i could pretend, i wasn't there
feeling safe with the ways the trees bend

the violins in my head
bow their strings
keeping stead
