someone once asked me
what are you

and being naturally silly and serious
I think it is a question
of course it spins me into a ditch

but still I answer
I am a person who has always written

always chased the elegant wings of literary fireflies
of doves
seagulls and spiders
garden snails too
ever running ever hunting the Daemon
in books stacked with dust and mildew
grinding pencils and keyboards into cobweb breakfast

a mind kind of portal
mixture of petrol blue on petrel wings
walking far from any shoreline
where love cuts like salt

tapped early first in grade 6 at 12 years of age
by a French Canadian teacher of language arts
