Justin Foster : Caledonia

folio : Barry McKinnon (1944-2023)

 

 

for Barry McKinnon

 

at the barn slugging
Uncle Ben’s super strength beer.

a poem and a cigarette
linger.

the north
is forged of such

situations and sharp angles.
what’s left is in the pines.

 

 

 

 

Justin Foster (he/him) lives, grows and occasionally writes from the traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh. He is appreciative of the wisdom and knowledge shared by writers of these northern lands.
