encased like a caddisfly
splashin' in the pond song
full of dreams and fish
wishing for another nap
or a good story like dad's
last weekend about ralph
making a break in his wheelchair
from the hospital in middle
musqudoboit … hand-pulling
himself outside and downhill
to the bridge over the river
heading for home in chaswood
dad's oldest brother ralph
died on monday afternoon
in camp hill hospital
halifax where veteran's affairs
had moved him recently
for a few good final weeks
with roadtrips and concerts
for the resident patients
his funeral tomorrow …
i'll not be there … would
have had to leave this casemate
residency town this morning …
