Flood in Penetanguishene

Flood in Penetanguishene

There was a huge deluge
that year in Penetanguishene
when hooligans had broken Gods window and left
RCMP on horses was following them

Georgian Bay expanded
its submarine saloons
by fields of corn, wheat,
patch of salad and carrots
whose leaves were roving in unison
with the floating green weeds

Moon as a bad boy in school was painting
a white smudge on the black board sky
and an owl as a perch was sneaking through
the silver hole for underwater hunting

At last Sun jumped out of the lake
almost as a beach plastic ball
and ignited a big hope in everybodys heart

However it turned out that One Wing Angel
disappeared from the cemetery
close to Notre Dame church

It has been said that some people saw Heavens Celebrity
who was galloping on Pegasus to Europe so quickly
that its horseshoes werent touching water
and maple leaves were falling behind the wing
covering the entire world

One Wing Archangel was rushing to Flanders Fields
where Corporal John W. of Penetanguishene
was drowned in flood of bullets of the I World War

Today the old souls from Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg
as ordinarily as people
listen to the echo of the song about red flowers
and float in the flood of Canadian blood
splashing the white palisade of crosses
