Leaving home

by Dylan Gjovik

 

Leaving Home

Heading for the lake

Red Lund Tyee

Hitched on the white Ford

As gears are shifting

And we are building speed

Thoughts flowing

Worrying about forgetting gear

Trying to think back

We get to the launch

I quickly and quietly

Rush into the boat

But all is there and in check

Ready to hit the open water

As the waves hit

The cold concrete

Of the Boat launch

We are idling out

Into the glossy water

With the sun rising

On the orange horizon
