A romantic name
for a seagull poop splashed walk
among spray and rocks.
A schoolteacher in
a barrel did what no man
could – lived to tell it.
Where river meets lake
we stand as Toronto gleams
across the waters.
Yet I sit up wide
awake in this country inn,
jumping at each creak.
Our waitress admits
the town has its share of ghosts.
We sleep with lights on.
Riverside village
quaint without self-consciousness,
where arts mix with charm.
Just water on rock.
And yet, sheer power compels
visitors to gape.
She curls around the
baby like a spiral shell
protecting its snail.
At a diner it’s
normal, but at home pancakes
seems so decadent.
An unexpected
crocus emerges, smiling
from a brown leaf pile.
