Nova Scotia

It was all so innocent, you mistook
what passes for spring here as death
the breath of the gulls as a war cry
the play of the waves as a threat.

But your armor's just a puzzle for the rain to solve
your coat's a pennant for the wind
the fortress, your body's unsteady,
borrowed, dissolving in May.

It's raining here,
It's raining everywhere.
Surrender.
