Saul Bennett
In Transit Lies Life Everlasting
Waving make-believe good-bye to him
at 3,
Wedged between his sister
and my mother,
I turn ahead but turn again
to see
My father from the middle distance
smother
Fear of never seeing him
again
With a rainbow wave
that smiles
Me on our way aboard
in light rain
On the World's Fan- tractor train
for miles.
