Post Cards

Your post card was received yesterday
Stir, stop. was written on the back.
Nothing else followed but the post mark.
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
I tapped the edge and wondered why?
On the front was an old picture of two people
portaging at Spring Lake.

Was the picture on the front suppose to be us?
Am I supposed to remember something?
I am many miles away from those days.
I no longer carry around that cumbersome canoe.
And the paddles we lost so many years ago,
we could never find.

Tomorrow, I’ll return that post card
a fresh stamp attached.
Let go, is all I will write.
Maybe you’ll forget our past?

some days we feel more

some days we feel more 
lost than others, let us hold 
hands to find our way

Mitten
May 2026
Belleville Ontario Canada (not the 51st state - not now not ever!)

I'm fascinated by lost objects. What is the story of this mitten, and why was it on a bench, on Spring day in May, when snow has been gone for some time?

Gloves

#Belleville, #Ontario, #Canada (not the 51st state - not now, not ever!)

I'm fascinated by lost objects. These gloves were left behind on a public bench.
