Departing soon from Procrastination Station
"Choo choo," I cry
My duties boarded
a late train bound nowhere, that
burns hours like hot coal.

In response to a challenge set by Vocal Assist. You can find it here should you wish to be involved! The crisp winter air bit at Talia's skin as she stepped off the bus. Her breath formed small clouds in front of her as she walked. The once-familiar streets of her hometown were now indistinct. As if trapped in a memory of a memory she could not remember. The grey, unobtrusive December sky did little to calm her rising anxiety. She had not returned in twenty years. And for good reason.

Excellent!let Burn hours😀
Loved the title, and the content is vivid and very very relatable. lol
Departing soon... and never reaching its destination. Related all too much to this haiku, looking forward to more!
Great imagery here, well done!
Great use of train as a metaphor for time and procrastinating as bound for nowhere! That was cool!
I've boarded the same train, lol! Really loved the 'hot coal' in the last line :) Wonderful!
I felt this. Resonate with this so much. Well done!
I like the environmental element you wove in here. Lots of meaning entwined in those syllables.
