"Are we there yet?"

Emily McGinnes

Free verse
Wind whispers through the cracks
“Are we there yet?”
Seatbelts click
Pillows at the window
Tapping of the feet along to the radio
We’re in for the long haul!

“Don’t complain or you can sit in the boot” Ippo chuckles
Staring at the sky and traces of fluffy kisses
Eyes nodding off
Awaking in a new destination
Travelling through universes to find our reason and home
“Are we there yet?”
I’m there whenever I’m with you.
