Halifax

Dawn at sea near Halifax.

Sun rising through the mist.

At 7:01 in a new time zone.

Farthest east since 1977.

To cultivate awe

Plant seeds of enigma

I lay soaking in Thermal Suite

As ship coasted into dock

And Halifax grew up

From the shore beside us.

See the sunrise

Reflected on the windows

Of the houses on shore.

Halifax ferry to Alderney Landing

Bicycle Thief

Lobster Roll

Smoosh!

There is a yesterday look

To this city of dull brick

And weathered sidings

Blocky late 20th century

Industrial architecture.

Let each day be like this:

Going out to see

And taste and hear and feel

What lies beyond

Finding awesome stuff

And making note of it

To record and share

In what remains of the day.

Give me a window

To gaze out

Upon the world in awe

Portobello gruyere quiche

Chicken tenders
