Leaving
home for newfound adventures,
Just the two of us on our own
Two thousand plus miles from
Family and friends,
Fledgling companions together – alone.
Who can we cling to?
New town – no friends,
All unfamiliar in fit or flair.
Olive drab convoys humping the highways on
Juxtaposed journeys going nowhere.
Who chose this Devil’s den
Void of amenities
So near the shores of
The Earth’s ragged end?
Where disquiet dwells in
The green sky of hailstones
And summertime swelter
Is nobody’s friend.
Test of our testament to one another,
A decade of displeasure packed in one year.
Thankful to flee, once our sentence is over,
Back to a place where we won’t disappear.
