standing in he belly of a dormant
snake of waiting travellers
we make ourselves a community
sharing sighs of lament
raised eyes of understanding
news and stories to pass the time
gifts to lift us from the melancholy
a smile
a laugh
encouraging words
a helping hand
a challenge - accepted - a poem
then the lights come on
a plane takes off overhead
and the snake shakes itself
into life
this one won't win any awards, but marks a moment well enough
