Through the Darkness
by Michael Bucell
All these talking
lips and mouths
moving excitedly
hands gesturing
breaths exhaled
eyes rolling
and legs shaking-
nervously-
all this talking
all this noise
and we're rolling
through the darkness
together, with the harsh
light of the noisy
subway flying
through the damp
tunnel, under
earth together,
joining in the joyous,
human noise.
