Sometimes my weekend breakfast ritual at the Atwater market gets especially inspiring. Here is one I couldn't resist to go with my poem "Au marché Atwater" chosen for the Canadian Unitarian Fall issue, with the last verse excerpted here. You can tell I've also been visiting the latest Impressionist to Expressionist exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts "The pumpkin lady sits alone humming an orange tune, lost in planets of fire.
I dreamed of her last night with her distorted mandalas,
Her yings and yangs that once showed me the way.
Now, perched precariously, she heralds the passing of time.
A journey all too soon,
to a snowy, frosty, creamy
Pisarro landscape."
