NO EXPECTATIONS
tiers & tiers
tiers upon tiers
of tears
like a great wedding cake
of grief
a Miss Havisham for real
cobwebbed expectations
setting one's self on fire
in a blaze of loss
by Marylebone Station she
sat down & wept
a policeman enquiring if "...Miss is alright?"
she gathers her
self together in a compact mirror
"Yes, I'm...fine. . .fine?"
but inside her
self is a. Dickens
of a tale to tell
