The Trooper

Farewell, Trooper, and thank you. <3 May you have many more trips into the mountains.

Last Day

A little road just off of Commercial Drive that we found while looking for a parking spot.

Sunset at Kitsilano Beach.




Goodnight, Vancouver.

Out we go...

My room before packing.

Digging crap out from under my bed...

Lita had to pack, too!

Watching our last movie together in the hallway... on our CA's couch!

My room after packing...

Last but not least, Yngve finally gets a mattress cover. =D

Honestly, I'm just holding James' beer while he takes the picture.

return to scene of the crime

Your hand, the dark percussion
of steel strings and creaky old wood
pencil can be erased.

These chords sing—
of hope, possibility, taking me up
on wings of diamond glass, brittle.

These thunderclouds have silver linings
if our bodies survive the ice and electricity
cleansed by the storm.

Silky voice, don’t stop
I’m too high to come down
Vancouver pavement still too hard.
