Condensation On The Window

Condensation on the window,
As I sit on the Silverlink,
Camden to Richmond,
Like we used to do so regularly.
Left hand entwined in right,
Fingers engaged in a deadly dance,
Like Japanese fighting fish.
Feet propped comfortably on the opposite seat,
Our soles touching.
Condensation on the window,
In which I’d wipe away a portal,
And we’d stare through,
As the bleary, smoggy atmosphere lifted for a moment,
Revealing trees,
Bare and leafless,
But trees all the same,
Hinting at a luscious canopy of green,
A colour left behind along with summer,
Way back in Camden.
Condensation on the window,
As I sit alone on the Silverlink,
Hands by my sides,
Still as silence,
Feet firmly rooted to the floor,
As the creaking train lurches,
And pulls wearily into Richmond.

| an excellent piece. there's tremendous vitality in your writing, but you also exercise good control. i like the balance of this and the authority of your poetic voice. a few things i wondered about. the Japanese fighting fish image is a good one, but what is 'deadly' about this holding of hands? and then, if you're sitting next to each other holding hands, surely it's the sides of your shoes that touch, not the soles? |

Poetic license! lol
seriously though, the hands are in a deadly embrace because, well have you ever seen japanese fighting fish? i think that they fight quite slowly and beautifully, so that it may appear as though they are embracing eachother.
In the same way, with this girl, we would sit holding hands, but slowly we were killing eachother.
We did used to sit with our soles touching, it was a bit awkward and uncomfortable actually, but we used to do it because of the sentiment of "soles/souls" touching.
Hope this answers your questions!
PEACE |
