This New Morning

Eye raised my shade

2 the glorious blue

of The Western Waterway

beyond my Western Bedroom Window

& thought 2 write

of why Eye live here

remote butt not remote

on a narrow spit of sand

called The Hawk

on Cape Sable Island —

the most southerly tip

of Atlantic Canada

where my Gully now knocks

at the sliding glass door

for His rare piece

of bacon
