Three Amish Girls

three Amish girls duck into my dark train car

to retrieve their baggage they stowed away in light

I sit-watching-as they fumble within the pitch for their things

I turn on my meager iPhone 6’s flashlight to offer them guidance

they eagerly thank me for the help then I ask if they like poetry, why yes,

I hand them my colorful card as I tell them I’m a poet, their smiles ignite ever brightly
