Sorry, I'm a Stranger Here Myself …

but I know the seasons
come into it, and wars,
and the shape of a particular landscape
we try to call our own, and the sea
with all that space and distance,
and fellow travellers we meet on the road,
and the dead of course who were here before us
and the millions more who have yet to arrive.
