Explanation:
Diana Garcia's poem "On Leaving" is part of her "On Leaving | On Staying Behind" where she talks of escaping to the border. The escape journey by train would be the main focus of the short poem where she talks about how to be safe throughout the journey.
In the given lines, she talks of how her cousins had told her about<em> "those wearing yellow"</em>, people from their village.

The nearest islands they could reach were the Marquesas Islands which was about 1,200 miles away from the ships position but then they have heard some frightening rumors about the island populated by cannibals. Another option was Hawaii, but the captain was afraid they’d be struck by severe storms. Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of South America.
