lyrics

HAVEN

Deer lightfoot across a clearing into shadowed trees.
 
Dogs turn the flock widdershins, for home.
Against the sky: homing crows.
 
We remember windows shut tight,
a birch tree, ink on bark paper,
twig broom, raft pole, cradlebones.
 
A plane snarls overhead,
two geese gust, honking off the lake,
ripples shudder ashore.
 
It lasts as long as the dream.
And after?
 
Deepwater lull of the island in the harbour.
 
When the wars have ended:
then.
