her campervan was painted green
bought it during covid 19
great recession imminent, she took to the road
in search of tranquillity
gas stations, motels, diners
deserts, lakes, mountains
emerald coastlines
forest pines
increasingly in rear view
radio played Lou Reed, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac
she read Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Kerouac
Haruki the cat in the passenger seat
her campervan was painted green
had photographs of where she’d been
and reminders of those she loved back home
nomads she’d happened to meet
night-swimming with Jonny and Róisín
campfires under desert stars
sharing dreams, songs, secrets, stories
harmonica playing, tarot reads
sage burns
and cactus blooms
the magenta - coral sunrise looms
her campervan was painted green
some say the colour of money
but who needs that
when you have harmony and peace
