Departure
When grandmother
fell in love
for the third time
there were months
of perfectly planned
coincidences
once his cuff link
fell into the river
once he whistled
adeline
and because she could not
disconnect
time and meaning
events evolved to
cold pure words
written on a photograph
in black and white
of grandmother's third love
standing near
what's left of
table rock
looking past
the fog of the falls
to the american side
thinking of departure
