Leaving Taichung<br />

Station<br />

Bob Black<br />

The voice of two pipes songing<br />

the sky this morning is grey and arched, autumn’s racoon ghost all bushy-tailed<br />

and rancorous<br />

what throws shadows on our hearts, the owl’s wing at night, the sudden tree cracking in the wind<br />

the hum as leaves fall through mud on the heath<br />

the hung kites in the trees fracture, fickle in the earth and mind<br />

another story buried with spanner and flower<br />

another name lost to the pebble, still<br />

you go on<br />

a pause as every word washed off in the bath falls at your feet<br />

and you pick up the hair matted off the floor<br />

tell me then reader, how shall this too end<br />

with a word or time stuck in a ditch, the ice cubes quaking in a glass<br />

the inevitable purge<br />

have you memorized the wind on the way to the grave you could not find<br />

Boulders on Back Beach<br />

mossy boulders<br />

on Back Beach<br />

weeping<br />

like armchairs<br />

claim<br />

your jade seat<br />

before<br />

a bee pillows it<br />

with pollen<br />

and makes<br />

a flower out of it

Canada (September, <strong>2024</strong>) – We arrived in<br />

Curve Lake to a traffic jam of vehicles all<br />

looking for parking before winding our way<br />

down to the pow wow. We walked several<br />

kilometers, arriving late for the grand entry.<br />

As the gathering came into view; a sense of<br />

elation and excitement grew within. After a<br />

jaunt around the festivities; we settled down<br />

to watch the dancers, some in spectacular<br />

regalia. Several dancers had red hand prints<br />

covering their mouths. Seemingly a striking<br />

contrast of protest and recognition, whilst<br />

celebrating culture and history. It was a<br />

remarkable experience, which I hope to repeat<br />

next year.
