Look —

every shadow

has a colour.

Stay and rest

in the thin

shawl of dusk.

What to Carry With You

In August of the year that

ruined and saved us

we ride toward autumn

on the Fish Lake road,

the road that climbs to the treeline

where the shrubs are small-leafed

and hunkered down

because the eager wind is here, always,

keeping the berries slow.

Soon the lakes will ice

and the theatre will open

and we’ll know friends on Main Street

only by the colour and trim of their parkas.

And in our homes

light will become finite and coveted,

as we resign ourselves

to the tender clink of teapots

retrieved from cupboards,

and the atonement of wood

popping and cracking

in the fire.
