Walking Through Turquoise | 
Fifth annual Reading with Pride event at Audreys Books tonight… and then there was cake. 🏳️🌈
Our very own @lindy, avid reader and bookclub member, is back in the Reading Envy pub to chat poetry and more!

you can‘t contain love
in a skillet, in a pocket
fancy inkwell or a locket
you can‘t fence it in with gate or paddock
brick and mortar cannot shape it
you cannot hoard it, guide it
steer love with hand, paddle or wheel
you can only grasp its essence
when it presents in tiny flashes
silver pulses, murmurations
the first time she calls you honey
(from: instruction manual)

i thought i wanted a too-handsome hollywood
cowboy.
before we rode off into the sunset
we would ride through the streets of laredo, or dodge,
or dry gulch
or one of those other westerny cowpokery names,
he with a not-quite-white stetson and me in an
appropriate
outfit for the times
(from the poem: resplendent boots)
The Edmonton #Poetry Festival is underway. At one of the events yesterday, local poets—including my sweetie Laurie MacFayden—read from their new books. ❤️
