People moving in

With their suitcases on board

Standing everywhere Fumbling to their seats.

"MAY I SEE YOUR BOARDING PASS?"

Yes please.

Plane flies on the runaway

Diving into the clouds

Into a puff of wind and smoke.

We fly. I sat unmmoved

For the rest of 16 hours.

I thought I had been fossilized.

Hardened. But I saw it flying

Us flying to mi casa.

Time is rolling backwards

My lips tugging backwards

No more jetlagging.

I held on to a light of a hope

with a lopsided grin.

Perhaps,

It's time to say hello.

To the land long forgotten

The land with cozy saturday mornings

Where we have dinner at 7pm, not 9.

The land that I long to be in

Where I had been long gone

is 60 minutes apart.
