Pilgrim

sitting on a bench beside the Botley Road
weighty rucksack by my side
reluctant


to begin this journey
takes boots of
faith


and
failing faith
then faithful
plod


to a waiting place beyond
the city’s pull


and then?

a scallop shell
a piece of cardboard
a marker pen


an outstretched thumb
