Today, April 22, 2020, it's very cold in Ottawa and we have a new sprinkling of snow on everything. I can't wait until the weather gets warmer and Covid-19 has calmed down, and hope that the day will come when we can take a country walk again.
A COUNTRY WALK
by Ruth Latta
Come with me where light depends
on sailing clouds and sunglass lens,
a place where peace and motion blend
as if time’s passage we suspend.
So silently on threadlike legs
a spider strolls around tent pegs.
A bird with fragile feathered head
comes bright-eyed, near, in hope of bread.
In air of pine and curing hay
some yellow-flowered plants display
their pods, pale green, a heavy load.
A brush, a touch, and they explode.
