Travelling fast

Bye bye. I wave at friends
on the platform as the train
leaves the station. I wave
one more time in the air,
to be sure. The sun is shining
and it has almost stopped raining.

At home sitting in a chair I look
at the raindrops and the
leaves on the trees, almost
yellow, getting ready for
undocking, falling away.
It feels as if I am in a train again,

the world
speeding past, a few
yellowing trees, blue sky,
clouds, -
If I would take a mirror
and stare at my face, I
would be able to follow the
lines, creases on my face,
railroad lines to a distant oven.
