Amherst Island
In winter, you were a flash of light, tundra against Arctic floor Warm breath stirred yr summer's breast and I saw windblown hair the colour of kelp transfix the lavender print of a scalp strewn shore Later, tiny bits from a calico dress became domiciled wings off butterflies, miniature bitterns ever more shadowy strewn across the Barrens, an unbridled strength from that Faraway isle released to orchestrate sunlight amongst all colonies that flower - a statuesque Red Admiral, Banded Purple, feckless Comma all aswirl to the pipes of a Devil's Paintbrush, stranded drumfish, sage, and tubercular ragwort
