Here On Ellesmere Island: a Facebook Status
I come back to this page, again
and again, wondering
if anyone cares, least enough
to leave a message,
but I don't even care myself...
and so days can turn to months
and the silence remains real-
as in Baffin Island,
where the bones of cold are laid,
and Barrier Lake, where murder is common
among the homeless
snows,
but learning silence, isn't
easy, as even wolves are
meant to howl,
and recite their foul vowels,
until the wind picks up
their tune,
Here on Ellesmere Island,
nothing is said,
even quiet poems
are seldom read.
