Our plane caught fire.
Our emergency
landing in Halifax
my first time in
Canada. I am groggy
With shock and sleeping pills
In this state
I can first begin
To realise
I have lost you
In this state
I can first begin
To realise
I have saved my life
We cry. I expect tears
Of fear
Of tiredness
Of frustration at the
Country we are unexpectedly in
My tears are tears of joy
Of relief
My tears put out
the fire on the plane.
