Yesterday Eye Traveled Out
2 McNutt’s Island
My Mother’s Paradise
From Long Ago
2 Find Her Little Red House
Now Painted Blue
Down The Grassy Lane
Once Called “The Low Road”
We Passed A Line of Laundry
Hung In The Sun
On Our Walk 2 The Now Defunct
Cape Roseway Light Station
several kilometers south
On Our Way Back
Eye Wondered If Eye Should Visit
M(eye) Mother’s Grave
In The Lower Orchard
of Her Island House
Butt
When Eye Saw Just The Sun Hat
of M(eye) Mother’s Successor
Sitting Where M(eye) Mother Sat
Eye Did Not Want 2 Intrude
