I Remember Canada (2012)

I remember Canada:
Soft, bold, keen.
Warm in the heart,
living in the cold.
I was Canadian -
Free in the peaks, ice and plains.

Peace west to east,
tree after tree.

I was a blind canary in a coalmine
no walls, no binds,
pioneer of the pines.

A new kind of people
in an old people’s land.

Harpoons to Harper
in a few hundred years.

Canada is no longer my domain.
