Today marked by a family reunion
and a visit to the church in Elora, Ontario

Sons of the Pioneers

A man in bronze behind a plow
tops a memorial to the settlers
in front of the fading church

The names of the men
and the years they arrived
my grandfather Emil among them
decorate the plaques below

Thistles catch for a moment and roll by

As nameless as the women
who worked side by side

When civilizations get
to the grape peeling stage
a mongol horde always shows up

After a while a phoenix may rise
but how many bones in the ashes
