The squealing weekend is over

A long uninterrupted
puddle of time

as you journey home
past sprouting allotments

to the meticulous swaying
of the train.

Dandelion clocks
skim the station platforms

where gaudy teenagers
circle each other.

Here at last

the delirious
early morning sun

and an abundance
of green.
