With Dad at the Saskatoon Auction Mart
"Keep your hands in your lap You don't want to buy anything Like a sheep or something" (but I do) And the great crowd of men And the noise And the smell of salt and and hay and oil and manure And we're going to the concession (I can't believe it!) And I'm going to get a Vico (that's chocolate milk) and a bag of chips And you're getting a hamburger (too much for me) And I reach up to take your hand in the crush But it's not you And I freeze But Then I find you And I take your hand And everything is alright with the world again And it's the best day And I'm with my Dad And I could have bought a sheep (or a peacock) And I have a Vico and a bag of chips Eight.
Reminiscing
Remembering other Christmases Bravely begging Uncle Wes For one more ride behind the skidoo On a too cold Saskatchewan winter's afternoon
Your skin
I want to crawl inside your skin And be sheltered From the world That is too rough for me Too much for me I want to crawl inside your skin And be sheltered For a while.
Uncomplicated
There is a sweet peace that comes From spending Uncomplicated time With the ones you love Grateful.
A Scream
I have a scream inside of me Deep Primordial If I scream it I will rend in two If I don't scream it I will rend in two Where are you O sister of mine? Where are you? I want you back I Want You Back
For Laura
In the storm Words rush out Unfettered Thank you For taking me seriously And also Not seriously For getting it My friend #apoemadayalmost
Random
Random bits coalesce And I'm undone Trying to finish The quilt we started A meal so far in the future That it should Be irrelevant today And yet it is. Where are you dear heart? I miss you. #apoemaday
