FAMILY FOTO

life is pleasant, death is peaceful 
it’s the transition that’s troublesome

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind family foto



there'll be bluebirds over

the white cliffs of dover
tomorrow
when the world is free

it's a song my mom used to sing to me as a child
a lullaby to help me slip into surrender


it's a sound that tickles the limbic
then moves down, grazing the frontal lobe
then further down into my dark body
flickers of light, shapes ... landscapes
passing that place I abandoned
left to decay years ago 
familiar unsettling


seeing it all again
from a distance, then up close
realizing it's a dream, I roll over and fall back asleep
only it returns; this time in greater detail

memories of the family farm
in Eastwood Ontario
this time


for kenneth henry batho
(uncle ken)

1926-2012
