Poem a Week<br />

The Birds Returning<br />
the birds come back<br />
like a shower of sparks<br />
as the winds<br />
wipe away the winter<br />
each bird<br />
carries a blade of grass<br />
in its beak<br />
for weaving<br />
the counterpane of spring<br />
their song<br />
drowns out<br />
the hiss of traffic<br />
and relines<br />
the ante-rooms<br />
of summer<br />
Note: I wrote this in early April of 2020. It must<br />
have seemed to me, despite the surging of COVID,<br />
an essentially pastoral time. I could not write such a<br />
poem now, during these war-torn, politically fragile<br />
days. GMD

Birdsong and Teeth<br />
upon your eyes, the extraordinary<br />
pollen draped and over the sill comes complexing<br />
the bodily lightselves and the we and the you all around, us<br />
and yet hidden from most beneath the exterior of our outward simplicity,<br />
the cranial wrapping of our cerebral intestines, whaling inside a calcium<br />
cage the contains fire and imagination in<br />
the stream of our patch worked dendritic chemistry<br />
put that in your bonnet as your toes mark up the rusting river song<br />
indeed the extraordinary subcutaneous shaped death<br />
bawks at itself<br />
dominion and dominoes dodging thoughts,<br />
this return to our preservative wombs in glass:<br />
and yet<br />
each failing dark opens the morning sung in feather and bony beak<br />
continual<br />
forgotten in the 6:00 am song, we a thought<br />
how long our teeth torment us all our life, that creeking aging<br />
and yet there they remain,<br />
outlive our dissolution white as scrimshaw, small leviathans,<br />
outward from our mousy skin dryed in time’s bath and hanging boneloose<br />
what a remarkable heartbreak<br />
even in this corporal failing:<br />
and<br />
the world was dark inside the wolf<br />
and<br />
the birds go on sounding, even in the dark<br />
and<br />
upon your eyes, 10,000 lives voyaged 10,000 Li
Travelling Palm<br />
Snapshots<br />
Tamara Chatterjee<br />
France (March, <strong>2022</strong>) – Airline travel has<br />
certainly changed over the last few years; I<br />
used to find solace looking out the passenger<br />
window feeling a connection to the nuts<br />
and bolts, watching clouds curve over and<br />
under the wings with the velocity of flight.<br />
These days though with masks and mandates<br />
it doesn’t have the same sense of calm and<br />
excitement. Alas; I’m safe and sound back<br />
in the comforts of the jungle oasis, joyfully<br />
reminiscing of my adventure overseas despite<br />
the added nasal swab.

Tomio Nitto 日 塔 富 夫 is an award-winning graphic artist who has been living in Toronto<br />
for over fifty years. A successful illustrator before the turn of the century, he is represented by<br />
the prestigious graphic design studio REACTOR, working for major magazines and commercial<br />
clients in Canada and the United States.<br />
Tomio Nitto lives a minimal, easy peasy life. He doesn’t own a tv, a cell phone, a computer,<br />
nor a car. He loves to walk and bike. In his spare time, Tomio paints, draws and sketches from<br />
nature. In fact his art is largely inspired by nature’s relationship with the human race. His<br />
graphic fable “The Red Rock”, which delivers a strong environmental message, was published<br />
in 2006. The Camera drawing project began in 2010, resulting in an exhibition at INDEXG<br />
in 2013. His most recent project and exhibition “Diary of Wonders” was based on discarded<br />
materials collected from the shorelines of Leslie Spit. Through fine treatment and painting he<br />
has injected each piece of scrap a new life, making them into meticulous and unique pieces<br />
of objects. Diary of Wonders - an exhibition of these small works were shown at 50 Gladstone<br />
Saloon (formerly Gallery 50) in 2021.<br />

Eleven drawings<br />
on camera<br />
Tomio Nitto drawing a Leica M (2010)
Tomio came to our gallery very<br />
often. One day, I asked him<br />
if he was interest in drawing<br />
my cameras. Holly and I have<br />
been working as photographers<br />
for decades, and we have<br />
accumulated quite a horde of<br />
cameras in different formats.<br />
That was the beginning of<br />
Tomio’s camera drawing<br />
project. We used a small corner<br />
of the gallery to display his<br />
camera drawings, and named it<br />
“Tomio Nitto Camerashop”. In<br />
the course of time he has drawn<br />
over fifty cameras, some based<br />
on mine, and others, cameras<br />
from our friends. These are<br />
available as prints, and for fun,<br />
as buttons.
