The Briton Trip

By Manasa Reddy Chichili

Sitting by cool glass of bus window

Watching unfamiliar blossom trees

Endless parade of grey - green

The vastness of the Britain landscape

Stretched before her abstract painting - beautiful

Vibrant chaos of Britain streets

First time in years a strange

fullness fill in her thoughts

To wander back to her Britain home

She could picture every moment of treasure

The delicate cup of green tea set from her kitchen

The collection of family members photos that captured

a lifetime of celebrations

They had bought the kitchen equipment and furniture

Something had been too precious

Too heavy with memories to keep.
