27/30, National Poetry Month, 30/30 Challenge
It's not National Poetry Month, nor does January have 30 days, but it's worth a shot.
Thank you to my inspiration for this.

your escape route

my escape route used to be thirty-five miles away,
a straight shot of highway through sharp mountains,
a lonely route travelled by myself
and myself
only.
now,
I search for an escape route from this place.
some other mountains far away are calling me,
a distant echo itching inside of me longs to be somewhere else.
I'll go anywhere else, away from this lonely escape route.
