It doesn't hurt
until he tries to recapture
what should have been
future and present,
but now will only be past.


He tries
with clear resignation in his face
as hints of what he knew
come back.

His faint motions are funny
and sting through my eyes.

Rapids at Pinawa


There were circles
drawn in the water
quasi-statically
with the moving stream
slipping beneath them.

The spoken language
of the stream is simple
but the glared surface
subtle, miraculous hides
a written language.
