A Night Like May

The train conductor ***** the horn quietly, to not awaken the babies

a mother next door has cried over for weeks--

A response team arrived twenty minutes after gas crept from the walls in satiated exultation--

Our sky wishes to be alone tonight--

It turns out the water heater was inexperienced and quit.
