Evening train no longer whistles,
commuters no longer wait
for last connection home.
Hovering gulls no longer swoop
for a young man's crumbs,
melodies but a memory
upon Semiahmoo Bay,
breeze unhindered as it blows past
seaside tracks, past museum
past theatre where Lowrey needs tuning
and Sunday evenings settle silently,
platform and pier silhouetted,
weathered, as an old man's ashes
join the herrings soaring, his dreams, his destiny
joining surf and sky.
