Crossing continents,
journeying via timezones,
Clunky itinerary
Flying through unslept nights
Unearthly landing,
Peace descending before the flight
Crowd and chaos as far as eyes reach,
order in the lack of order unmistakable
Queues jumped, hustled past unheeded
temper remaining untampered yet
Dusty roads, horns blaring
traffic rules left to kerbside
Lone building, mountain dwarfing,
lake still still
A windy apartment on ninth floor
And I am home
