Notes About The Poem

A poem for Tofino, about Tofino

Ode to Tofitian Rain

Ode to Tofitian Rain


What is in Tofino rain
that makes it smell so sweet?
A blend of berries, a certain strain
of sea salt, fog and peat

it smells of woodsmoke, tangy fir
and kelp washed up on shore
it smells of bitter evergreen
and dampened black bear fur,
blackberry wine that I just poured
and roasted coffee bean

it smells of maple, honeycomb
it smells of earth
it smells like home.
