FLOWER
FLOWER POWER
At the Vimy exhibit in our nation’s Capitol
they gave out paper with poppy seeds embedded
From Flanders Fields Mere specks No one knows
how they grow into flowers +soldier’s ghosts
simultaneously Plant them in your yard +the bones
of our good Canadian boys will rise giving off the faint
scent of mustard gas +the sea
