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.
