I look around the raging flames. Iam the black cloud that circles the dark body. Iam inextinguishable and am in the heat of the moment. I've travelled many journeys and each felt like a beginning to an end...except this one...it ended in ashes, and I don't make any bones about it. The deserted train compartment was once full of sleepy heads, but I see skulls that I identify were my neighbours. The hand that rocked the baby lie in joined heaps of remains. I cry at their love and only death did them part. The water hose(s) of the fire ambulance wipe my tears dry, as its time to move on. I smoke out in dark circles, floating higher into an uninvited heaven. 'Rest in peace', I tell myself, as this journey by accident has just begun.
