[ID: This poem -

‘On Travelling Together’, by Kayleb Rae Candrilli

In a Super 8 just outside Iowa City, two twelve-year-old boys

cuddle on the lobby couch, scrolling on their phones.

It’s four in the morning, and they don’t expect me, or anyone,

in the holy space they’ve drawn for themselves.

Their parents are asleep on the third floor, resting

before a hockey tournament or some other rough-and-tumble game.

It’s clear by the way the boys jump as I walk by;

their parents know nothing. The floor is lava.

The continental breakfast will start soon.

The couch they’re on is an island I’ve been to.”
