Gretna revisited (for G.T.W.)

warm June breezes our faces
like memories

feet scuff gravel street
of childhood

old ties of kinship invisible
between us

like roots under these massive
trunks and

we take the new path behind the
public school

these playgrounds marked my knees and lodged
my soul

and all around us the green growth of
another summer

in this Manitoba hot spot and
I recall

it is almost one year since
your diagnosis
