footsteps over my head

from here the landscapes are fluid

blue bags, grey towers melt into a sea

but the lake was always here

full of clams

but the towers overtook them

because the souls on the train

lost the garden in the haze

doors open when they should be closed

to avoid the terminals we already know

the footsteps above my head

trying to derail what can't sail

the train splits the crossroads

with its limbo cabins

passengers fal

l into a deep dream

of what the clams would be

missing their stops

the platforms don't wait

so we get stuck

rotting in transport
