all the way from
Australia touring
Canada for months
so far away from
home and Loving
My Winnipeg
(Guy Maddin)
a beautiful soaring
voice and relationship
songs that break me
make me
well up and tears
misting my eyes
and turning away
and yes
i dance too
2 sets,
Chloe Hall and her
voice
and her soft kind eyes
sparkling
with joy
(reminding me of another
pair of soft blue eyes,
forever gone)
when i tell her
her loving songs
made me cry.
as she thanked me for dancing.
i was 1 dancer
of 8 loving people
roaring and applauding
at The Edge
on a Saturday night of excuses,
see Little Foot Long Foot

I Won’t Let You Down
Born In The Morning
(“Every day, we’re born new again,
with potential and hope,” says Chloe)
Wildflowers
(born from East Hastings and the community
of homeless and found wildflowers
growing in the mountains above
during a hike)

(a song that is perfect for a farewell song,
a last song of any night’s performance,
so honest and loving)
Fire and Wine
If Nothing Matters
35 more loving minutes.
“You sound like a million people,”
Chris says
and
it’s true.
we roar and do.
tonight, we are The Million.
“We came in at 3 AM, after
our car broke down in Swift Current.
We liked it. There’s a cool vibe here,”
says Chloe.

church like
intimate acoustics
for their soul,
loving music.
