We travel cross-city, cross-country, cross-continent. On bikes, on buses, on foot, in cars not driven by either of us. We carry bags of treasure that aren’t touched. Sustained by crushed gold fish and iconically-Canadian ***** of fried dough. Wind in our hair, belongings under x-rays, moving at a crawl through underwater paths, our bodies touch.

Leaves of Fire
The tree with leaves of fire / Stood in the centre of town / Our feet sunk into the muck and mire

Marisol hated doing the dishes. She would stomp the ground and slam the doors. / She hated! / Hated!
