8-A voice says "The waiting room is open." 7-A stranger's voice says "I don't remember." 6-A morning's mist coats the platform. 5-"Is it ok? Photo?" 4-Platform - an old concrete waiting space. 3-Painted lines flowing, 2-Pain paused. 1-Pap. 2-"Press it." 3-"Eh, Move on." 4-Walking through the seats. 5-Waking up. Looking out. Looking - 6-And talking. To myself, to you? 7-Inside I feel myself breathing and watching. 8-"Today is not as misty as yesterday, eh?" Emmy Horstkamp - Storeyan Poem Series 23/12/2023
