| Highlands Trail - Algonquin, Ontario | |
| Pitch my tent on the balcony of a June evening. | |
| Light descends behind ridges, red- | |
| orange to pink to violet, | |
| blue-fluff to grey. | |
| i'm one for the show. | |
| On the stage bellow | |
| frogs belt songs of Gyuto monks | |
| locusts vibrate chants to Beeuze | |
| while crickets dance in squeaky shoes | |
| and coyotes laugh and cry in alcoves. | |
| The silhouette of a bear growls by | |
| as my fire pops | |
| and sparkles sky | |
| with impotent shooting stars. And i | |
| suck down an orange | |
| lick honey | |
| sink into the ripened ovary | |
| of an apple tree. |
