A Long Train Home Poem by Dorsey Baker

The rain started
suddenly
You had to leave me
before dawn
you had to
Leave in a hurry
you had to leave
naked
without your clothes
but still
you looked
well dressed
you give without
asking
because with such a
beautiful
body you have been blessed
its early in the morning
but its time to go
because the wind
is about to blow
the train is coming
you cannot
let it leave
without you
There is somebody
in love with you!
and they have been
a long time
thinking about you
