"The Anchor" [Reflections on Book - Right Side Up Side Down Romeo Lemieux and Connie Bischoff - re: Honor Bound]
The Jewish story – Holocaust
With girl grown up, her parents lost,
And gift of tree-shoot dominantly
Awaiting her maturity –Spoke of the root and anchor-rock
Bound now together – lesson taught;
So too with yarn and poetry
Now fused, as I each picture see.For photos anchor to the ground
Like rocks, the insight artist’s found
In this and that (just like my task),
Which now springs up to light at last.For paper’s wood, just like that tree –
It arises like the jack pine – we
Are blessed by tree, and ancient rock,
While poems, pixeled trinkets, talk.Thanks Lord for this.
