Can I go back

Back to the place I call home

Full of laughter and love

The place where I sleep above my friend

As I'm surrounded by so many others

Darkness

swallowing up the sunset

streaks of gold and orange and pink fading to a dark navy blue

then, finally

once the sky has been painted over with a seemingly endless coat of black

the stars come out

O Canada

I am so sorry for what is going on

I apologize for a lot of people's actions

to specify, their stupid actions

O Canada

Vermont sends its condolences

With each unpreDictable swivel of our fingertips,

a familiar, sacred slab of tree Is destroyed.

The Earthy aroma drifts through our veins,
