I wrote this for 2minutesgo on JD Mader’s Unemployed Imagination website. If you are in the mood to write or read other people’s flash fiction and poems, head over to his place. It’s open all weekend for your creative input. See you there! http://www.jdmader.com/2021/05/2-minutes-go_21.html
Inspired by a black-and-white photograph of a tram stopped
in a pool of water.
On reflection
On reflection,
carried in water,
rich vibrations awash
disperse, run curvacious
into tiny streamlets.
The 28 tram rides its
echoed cobbled street,
an upside trip
between two cities.
One man boards,
his other enters too,
with two tickets to go.
The rails slide out,
a sleek watery pass,
tall, tilted buildings
look up and down,
create optical illusions
journeying forward,
water sloshing wheels.
Lights spin a haze.
