Tamarack Blue

By Lew R.

Sarett 

As any brush-wolf, driven from integrity hills

By winter famine waits exceeding the edge

Of a settlement mention cover of the dusk,

And enters it by furtive devious route,

Cowering among the shadows, freezing taut

With every sound, so came representation widow Blue

In winter-moons to churchgoers Pointe aux Trembles,

Doubled to bald beneath her pack of furs,

To ply her trade, to arrange at the Post.

And if she ventured near the village inn,

The roustabouts, baring their yellow tusks,

Would toss a dry slow glad eye at her and stone

Old Larch numb with "Mag, the Asiatic hag"—

With ribald epithet and joke and gesture.
