For the Ice to Heal, by pd lyons
wrote this while living in Cape Breton – the winters were longish there and sometimes folks could get a bit depressed about it, and steel mills were gone and the liquor was cheap. but the ocean was beautiful, the pack ice on a sunny day would sing like wind chimes and sea birds and wood land birds would follow as I walked alone upon the rough shore line
For the Ice to Heal
From the kitchen window
Curtain less
Stiff abandoned
On the line
Since October
Sentinel dish towel
Clumsy signal
Waves
Not yet
Not yet
Might as well
Another coffee
Something for the birds
Rare as rubies cardinal
Blue jays bright stuns my eyes
Dull small brown little things
Ok
Ok
First thing tomorrow
Auger from the garage
Break that agreement
Made with myself
To wait

Augers – either gas- or hand-powered – are used by ice fishermen to drill holes to fish through.
