coming to Regina:
to arrive to
be there beyond the drive
to be there where
friends await to share bread
& more the conversation
continuing that
is friendship
& on the highway descending
from the North &
a day below greyblack clouds
to see to our right
such glory nature
copying Turner this time
or Milne's thick
strokes glowing mountain
of embers flaring deep
colours slowly dying to dark
& the lights of the city ahead
all the welcome felt there
felt there

Each leaf a runnel the
roofs now skiffs in green
I’ve never done anything
but begin.
