Patiently waiting
for the right words
to come my way
pas pressé mes amies!
this is Canada
land of the lucky
where the poets move unchained

No pressure anymore
from the books
already written
to prove myself again
still it’s nice to look back
reflecting on a writer’s life
at home with the world

Realizing talent never dies
just a little rusty
confident I need only
clear out the cobwebs
to get at the heart
of the matter again

An unending partnership
with the creator of creators
protection
from getting pregnant
with one’s own and
others’ negatives
