A boy’s bloodshot eyes
guide his body
atop the dry
mountain pasture
The daylight wanes
A mass of tents flank him
He shakes his head
with a wince
to the sight
of a tent that he calls home
The daylight wanes
A mass of tents flank him
The words welcome home
are scribbled
on a cardboard doormat
with permanent marker
The daylight wanes
A mass of tents flank him
Looking at the vast open land
below, he sees
billowing clouds form shadows
that undulate across the terrain
The daylight wanes
A mass of tents flank him
He rests his head that night
feeling peace
knowing
this too shall pass
