I marinated in the melodies
A symphony of violins
Another world within a train
That exists with my eyes half shut
Cracked to make sure I don’t miss my stop
I skip back tracks to keep the violin soaring
To make the world stop shaking
I retreat into classical music
A genre I haven’t immersed myself in
Not in the last three years
I find this song reassuring
When the anxiety builds
A deafening whispering
I have to drown out
