“If there’s justice
in this
world or
a god in the next
you’ll get your
eggs before me.
I know what’s coming.
I do.
Brave to read the signs.
I can survive on
kale and goat cheese
I’ve been practising.
Stick with me
and I promise
that you will
be able to
live in what’s left of New York
for next to nothing.”

If there’s justice
in this world
or a god
in the next one
you’ll get your
eggs before me and
sit here
in prophecy
as the endings change.
I’m going
back to Halifax
to hear my sister
shake hearts
with a mezzo range.
No one
will ever
believe what a shy
child she was once.
