in sasketchewan

by kim - leo - Not entered

we owned a farm in sasketchewan,
and i stood on the niapawin bridge,
with green, grassy skin and a water bucket.

and a hairy-armed man named Monet
stood for hours in the rain
with tears in his eyes.

and a yellow-haired girl
with a sunflower
wrote her name in the sand.

And once i flew to las vegas, 
when i was thirty years old,
and that's the only time i've been on a plane.

Reason for writing:

    i wrote this poem to my only lover...he left me standing in the rain on the niapawin bridge...i wrote his name in the sand...but the river washed it away
