Raincoat and Clogs

Spirit on the train
you wore trousers 
under your thawb 
and a raincoat 
that wouldn't absorb 
the sky's tears.
On your back you wore
a rucksack 
I thought it looked heavy-
I wonder
did your clogs dig 
into the ground
I thank heaven 
everyday
that
you found 
a way to
 still exist 
in a world 
so heavily
shrouded 
in mist.
