July 20

Five years ago today we left Boulder.
It had taken us most of the day to finish
House-clearing, but by evening,
The dump runs were done, the accumulated
Detritus of seven years compressed and stowed,
And we drove out.

Phil and his Dad were in the truck,
Towing the car. His Mom and I were in the van
With four sons and sufficient food.
Eight Lykoshes on an epic trip across the country.
We knew when we left we would not return.
