Want Is A Slow Train by Elisa McCool

After "Dormitories" by Sean S, “Beachfront Properties” by JKD, “Apologies for Absence” by
Amanda Deutch, and all the other ensuing poems


want is a slow train

sleeping through the night crossroads

where

skateboards…..boys

pills…………..and blow


where want is a need

shouted to the night air

radiant as the heat off town roofs


where the town clouds

flex their want into rain


where the hills cleave

to the dark swallowed need
