foot tap
notes that draw me
to dance
fallen leaves
glimmer as they slow
the brook
Bloo Outlier Journal Issue #1 December 2020
plaid shirts
family together
for a photograph
knitting a sock
remembering
mom
toonies
a clink in the pocket
for ice cream
a song
this morning . . .
before tea
january
three degrees celsius
and still it snows
walking
through the city core
umbrella furled
sparrow song
morning silence
deepens
yellow
manitoba maple leaves
the first to fall
a decorative edge
the bullet journal's
path deeper
a smile . . .
grows wider when
eyes meet
autumn
begins with rain
shared umbrella
dance steps
a rhythm grows
from within
dismantle
the separations
eating rice
discarded masks
civilization reaches
the country
fountain pen
the words flow
for others
one, two . . . thirty-three
toads in the woods emerge
in the dusk
