the sum of the estate: pictures newspaper clippings poems the memories
odd to think of the world without… a frozen corpse in the revolving e… molten lava below cold stars above journeying through the long, wide… unknowing
see them standing in glass houses clutching stones of fear anxiety suits and shoes boots and jeans makeup and hair powdered and perfumed
SHIPBOARD last night from starless skies a t… stunned and shaken, seeking shelte… from unfamiliar shipboard lights I watched it falter with wings out…
Time for a pit stop Half face in rear view mirror Road unwound behind
crickets and brittle leaves empty seed pods scurrying in the heavy scent of autumn
the darkening hills a triumvirate of crows in the glowing gloom
Empty moorings and Quiet lighthouse watch the bay Crawl back to the sea
inhumanity kills boys civilization kills girls
I remember the summer of the polio scare we couldn’t go to the cove to swim that whole summer
I saw their faces as clearly as if… on their stones beneath their name… heard their voices in the trees whose roots go deep into their dus… and into the dust of this Island
the silence of colour palette of fall reflected on water white birch trees granite rocks
last night the winter world transformed to summer’s sphere fireflies in the night their aimless paths alight
come sit beneath my branches and read to me from dead poets for I am old all texture and symmetry a conspiracy of cocoons
white-rimmed waves crawl reluctantly shore ward moody city skyline rebuffs shafts of sunshine cloud confusion
