Part II

(NB.. moving straight on.. Part 2 is our first poem from the viewpoint of Michelle, our seemingly friendly ghost taking Andy on a tunnel leading to the next stage of their journey)

Part 2

Collapsing footsteps

Into the mud

She looked

Behind them once

Just before they got

To the doors

Of the project,

Thinking back

To what had happened

In the train station

To them

Only a short time before,

And the way he’d pushed

The shooter

Over the edge

Saving likely

At least

Dozens of people

If not hundreds

Surprising her with

His reckless courage,

Amazed they had got this far.
