“Pilgrims” by Rosemary Boyd



Pilgrims

We walked and walked and walked some more. Past the poppies. Past the ancient crosses. Past the villages. Past the fresh bocadillos hanging on door knobs. Past the laundry sunning on balconies. Past the cows and goats. Past the fountains. Past the others. Past the ghosts of those before us.
