Holly far from home
First time on the road
Stops beside the lake
And walks out onto the snowJust eighteen years old
First time away from home
Discommunicates
For the first time truly aloneHolly digs a hole
and kneels as though to pray
Reveals a shrouded phone
And buries it in the lake
Holly far from home
First time on the road
Drives beside the lake
For the first time in north Ontario
