destination
I drove and drove
today
east, northeast, east again
miles and miles of not much
well, not true
miles of trees, mountains, farmland
scenic overlooks and blue hills
then boom
the city
vast and sprawling
encompassing everything
finality after a long day alone
now with my daughter I am again content
how very often family is my destination
a place and a purpose, simultaneously
a reason
