Off the Rails

The vagrant clouds hitch a ride

on an empty train car,

headed to Who Knows Where.


All they have is water and 

backpacks containing rainbows.


Gale-force winds swirl

in overhead compartments;

the moon sighs


The stars sing three-part harmony

to the clack-clack-clack of the wheels.


Rain sheets the empty 

seats, dust dissolves, the fresh air 

holds its cool, damp breath


The station disappears…

a three-headed dragon

                                        emerges


a broken rengay written with Barbara Leonhard and Melissa Lemay


published in Medusa's Kitchen
