one step after another
across the country
across the airport
broken shoe
fallen sole fixed badly
strapping tape doesn't hold
working shoes
walking shoes
only one blister accounted for
so much brickwork
holding itself up
no earthquakes over here
step by cobbled step
beautiful alleyways
so many cigarette butts
city feels alive
never a moment of quiet
bustle bustle bustle
crowded airplane
moving walkways never moving fast enough
boarding has started
returning home
a quiet affair
takes just as many steps
steps off the plane
steps into the world
breaths in the air of home
