Four Months

---

Because I remember being told by a Coast Salish that these were toothbrushes, and that we could bathe with cedar boughs, and that one should always step through the door of the longhouse backwards.






Because I showed you how to sex crabs, lighthouses and beehives, the lighthouse just off the beach and little crabby claws pinching tickle my palm.






Because I tried to climb this ruin with boys before, and I'm still not sure who it will remind me of.






Because we're Canadian, and because there is graceful beauty in an industrial park. Music seeps from the studio and mixes with the clanging whirring of the print shop and the mill.






Becuase we were hot and even the rock was sweating.






Because anything is possible if only you believe...






Because he took a cracker from your hand and not from mine, and I am the one who's supposed to know about rodents.






Because I love the Sea to Sky and the Gulf Islands and the Sunshine Coast and the Georgia Straight and... you.
