pileup

It was Saturday night
When the first snowflake falling on your bangs
Seeing around no one around
Only an old beagle stood at the dark crossroad
Giving a cold look, like the old lady on the Aberdeen train this evening

It was such a long way
You heard a jingle bells song from a far, as the house in front of you
You did not move anywhere
Freezing cold outside, freaking awkward inside
Hesitation needed to manage

You could see mother stirring up a warm hairst bree
failing finding it in any other places tho, possible no longer
Father wore an army sweater you bought the last winter
He’s busy with the phone, made the fifth call
still no answers returned
He then made a crisp joke as he always did
about the dog who became a national symbol for grief
They laughed.

As you managed to lift the leg, something pulled your hand
Your body felt lighter
mother and father you could see no longer
the house was farther, smaller

Sunday morning
the beagle was still there
the train would never come.
