HAPPY
NEW YEAR
An
open stove -
Wood-junks
burn
Red-orange-yellow
In
flickering flames -

fires past
And
tinkers’ tartan.
Warm
wishes:
A
happy New Year.

FILLING
IN
They're
filling in along the shore,
On
mudflat, bog, and gravel bar.
At
riverside and through the Bay
No
buffer zones enforced today.
In
many towns Municipal
In
Provincial Parks or Federal
The
excavators and big trucks
On
Preserves...
PRESELECTION
Could
it be a new direction,
Or
in effect a preelection?
Would
we see a change in graft -
