Highway Blues

A hug from my black labrador, leaving me with canine smell on a plaid blouse.

Gold in the sky, complimented by pink and orange setting clouds on fire.

I become familiar with lights against the night, my new companions.

Country music through old speakers, sounds of childhood.

Interstate commerce commence in their commutes.

A billboard for pancakes signifies approach into the city.

Vibrations and a tune notify my sister’s excitement to welcome.

New neighbourhood, new college, new work and friends.

Unprepared, excited, eager for awaiting adventure.

Change is about.
