Journal (or Stream of Consciousness)

Sumer camps in winter days and
Skiing all the way from June to May
Write in journal every day

So much detail, every action: this, then, this
Forgot something – add it in
Happy sadness jealously in censored pages
Read the words, relive the days

Summer camps in winter days and
Skiing all the way from June to May
Write in journal every day

Callingwood, Earl Buxton, Mall
Popsicle recipe, camera assembly
Spelling mistake and grammar error
Oh, just learn about sentence structure

Summer camps in winter days and
Skiing all the way from June to May
Write in journal every day

Going places, Jasper, Banff
Cabin stays at horseback trails
Some stay constant – little panda,
Lots of novels, baby blanket

Summer camps in winter days and
Skiing all the way from June to May
Write in journal every day

Image of the house is fading
Enter, piano, stairs, then dining
Blank out – living room, kitchen, look up
Upstairs bedroom mine, then theirs
No wait – that’s now. Before disappears

Summer camps in winter days and
Skiing all the way from June to May
Write in journal every day

End of journal, half filled blank
Close the book and open window
Wonder where they all are now
