Arriving in this strangely familiar,
Yet unknown city. Children around me.
Relationships trailing behind, clanking
And trundling along on a rusty bike.
Looking for familiar landmarks, anything
To connect to or recognise. Wide river.
No bridges. There's something on
The other bank. Perhaps a church.
A gulf of distance to get there.
The pull of the past
Clanking along, clunk, clunk
Filling the road behind me.
Pulled forwards. Pulled backwards.
The pull of opposing directions.
Yet unknown city. Children around me.
Relationships trailing behind, clanking
And trundling along on a rusty bike.

The other bank. Perhaps a church.
A gulf of distance to get there.
The pull of the past
Clanking along, clunk, clunk
Filling the road behind me.
Pulled forwards. Pulled backwards.
The pull of opposing directions.
