AT PICTOU poem
by Richard L. Provencher At Pictou Pinpoints of light mimic startled flashes from watery reflections, down, then up to nightfall's limit and the Causeway pierces an ancient route learned from daring explorers, their bouncing ships crunching on Nova Scotian soil Scott's lumbering trucks with yesterday's windfall trunks of forest-memories, huge loads of felled wilderness tune in to new adventures, into frilly napkins and paper and modern usages. And nearby on reed-like legs, viewing an unfolding world, as feathered forefathers once stood in awe- cormorants hulking on weathered pylons aside Northumberland Strait. Richard L. Provencher 1990 first Published October 1990 The Pottersfield Portfolio Crazy Quilt Press Halifax, Nova Scotia ISSN 0226-0840 Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online.
