going home again

for once
we make the train on time.
our luggage
stowed away
we settle into our seats
for the long
ride home.
through the dark tunnel
beneath
the cold city we go.
the rattle
of the rails, the conductor
taking
stubs.
then out and out,
into the wide
pastures of the land.
shoulder to shoulder,
hand in hand,
we go home again.
