On the third night
I dreamt of you, even
though it was the wrong
occasion, wrong
coast, wrong specifics,
wrong colour cape
for this
stark meadow
larked into
hieroglyphic occlusion.
But location is a life
long
mistake, a torchy ballad
sang too slow, a swan
song sawn into the day’s fabric
published in Ottawa by above/ground press
