IN FALMOUTH ,SEPT 10

After playing backgammon
waiting for football practice

in a school uniform
his late brother left him

in a far country
war close to home

now killing off a cider donut
between classes

of Latin, Greek
and Hebrew

looking for a cheerleader
to encourage him

amid scattered showers
he takes out a kayak

off the shoreline
thunder strikes his prayers

he makes it back
after catching a salmon

and watches a rainbow
as a sign in clouds of sky.
