The Colony


a window opens to the north

a door to the south closes

a western wall of brick stands tall

in the middle of an eastern sea,

seagulls fly in all directions

catching available currents but

none strong enough to take 

them home...  hunters fire their

rifles aimlessly thinking they

are Canadian ducks invading

our lakes and rivers...  we look

to each other for salvation, and

find nothing but excuses and an

empty house with open doors

and windows...  we are new to

this era of time, not understanding

its location or purpose other than

it is a convenient place to rest.
