chain-link fence and parking lot
with three battered cars
in oil-slicked puddles
misery sealed in a bottle
recycled over-used
tipped and drained past midnight
when screw-you gets
slammed gut and dirty shroud
behind the final yell
thump on bone
loaded into the dumpster
emptied with bleeding
over that chain-link fence

you walk into the bay
without a backward look
or word of goodbye
each wave captures
part of you
buries it in salt
sucks your skin
into the width of grey
and I watch you
do this last thing perfectly
taking each serene step

and I hold a handful of sand
without you

on Granville Street Bridge
in the snow
caught a rainbow and swung out
over frills of water
lassoed a canoe
and paddled down False Creek
chanting Hallelujahs
to parading gulls
flags streaming from their feathers
she dropped the banjo overboard
went ashore to build a snow-gull
complete with lemon beak
and ice-cream claws
