Vienna to Paris








A few unplanned train changes due to French strikes,
but Paris is already worth it.
The landscape between Vienna and Paris,
fall touching down and a
brief pause in Frankfurt.

A train image notated along the way:
She's about to pull the skin off her lower lip,
sorting through those emails, voice messages, alerting us with steady beeps.
I can see only her thin blonde torso, part of her face and hand, one eye, focused,
then drifting and distant.
Must be a hard job or a strained relation.
That poor lower lip.
