Just Beneath The News Story

Just Beneath The News Story*

Just beneath the story of decimated

Hamilton – resident”s tears and

Property’s dire destruction

Just beneath the news story of the

tiny hamlet on the water

Rides the memory of a summer breeze

Blowing through my hair as I pedaled

Fast and gloriously

Alone

Miles from home in a

Town so foreign it could have been another

Country and I

An adult yet to be born
