RESTORATION

Eliza’s Room 9:1pm

 

From the kitchen

there’s a pink cloud over

The Scraggly Apple

and from upstairs

in Eliza’s Room

The Same Pink Cloud

is stretched along the beach

beyond the wooded scrub spruce

in preparation

for My Good-Night

 

POEM IN THE NIGHT

Eliza’s Room 5:45am

Oh where does My Cow Bird go

when He goes to sleep?

I have seen Him take His Lunch

from a neighbour’s feeding station —

I check His Return

to My Side Mirror

faithfully listening

for His Watery Warble and Squeak
