i fell asleep on the train

i fell asleep on the train 
heading home
and missed my stop.

i didn't hear the whistle,
i didn't hear
the conductor's voice,

i didn't hear the wheels come
to a halt.,

the bustle of passengers
departing.

i was asleep,
sound asleep. the kind of sleep

i used to have when i was a child
in
northern Spain,

the sky ceruleasn..
the Pyrenees off
in the distance

like thoughts waiting
their turn.

when i awoke, i smiled.
not knowing

where i was or how i would
return.
but things were
fine.

things at last were good
again.
