| Hand/Grenade by Joan Thornton |
6 am
damp
in darkness
North Sea
slapping
on the rump
of
Europe
In
Montreal
not
so far
we cannot
feel
that strain
as
Real
riot-
ous im-
mediate
as
the States
whose sharp Spring
tremor
like
a
subterran-
ean
shiver
-- shifts
our centres
of
atten-
tion
NOW -far
out along
dark
borders
where
for miles
un-
easy
migrants
perch
the ragged
edges
of
a storm
