Greenland

Of all the water I knew Up to lightspeed from Rome And all the earth filled with rain To seep below to the falls of a day To snow and rise over rocks of a Dane To be pressed into fine-grained words And rocky heaven under millibars of gold Where we sought a trail to view

And the bright forest of the Banana’s stars In its coast a wayward ship And duels of lime in the fulsome fabric Of payment in peace to Grenadier

I lost my kin to the deep bright ocean -For their love was fitted to part So I dove for cetaceans And avoided war And Canada was blessed to be there
