No coward this white train
That dared to speak a virgin’s mind
Stripped, to the abuser’s rule
That sought to quash
Dissent in journeys’ end
➰
It’s flaming red still trails the skies
A freer voice than iron ways
Where iron minds, entitled
Lay down iron roads
Within the minds and tongues of
Those who cannot within their minds
Travel by themselves…
➰
Unliveried, red-bled, she waits,
White naked, now exposed
To be dressed by another
Competing groom, approved
Who also runs the rival line
Nestled beneath the lying blue motion
Of a choice that somehow vanished
➰
