there's a siren every fifteen minutes.
a tram passes every ten.
scattered motorbikes and barking dogs.
here, it's blazing, sunny, hot.
"the birds sound like old ladies."
today, i told a friend about manure and alfalfa.
at home, it's cold and rainy. it should smell like pine.
birds chirp, sing, they don't shout.
i'm not exactly homesick, but i miss these things.
this place is beautiful, but it doesn't feel like it's for me.
or just not yet (i hope).
