Poem: When We Arrived
By: JD DeHart
When we first arrived, we noted
the flora and fauna, spoke with
the wise queen and made sure
to locate the dumpster
When we first arrived, we communed
with the ancient tree spirits
that surrounded the canvas of land
and also checked to Wi-Fi connection
When we first arrived, we made plans
for food and hoped that starving times
would be minimal, then hopped in our car
and found the closest ice cream parlor.
