Riding
The Rain Train
A glib paper cup
refills itself in rain.
Train's pane jellies.
Your side face
is the part of a town
we just crossed.
And its market, station,
man riding his sleep,
crows on a garbage heap,
trees longing for
the tiredness of
twelve o'clock birds.
You remain tipsy
on rain tea infusion,
eyes shut, metals
unthreaded in your dream.
A field opens.
Rain Train -- Rich Booth
Your poem has energized me.Thank you Kushal.

This is essential Kushal. Original, surrealist, magic realism born of actual things he observes in his reality. This is the Kushal I most adore. Nothing homogenous about it. All my senses engaged.
