Canada is the house where I was raised
So large and empty nowadays
Walls filled with my childhood pictures
Japan is the apartment I live in
Crowded with books and things
Shared space for the love of my life and I
Rare colors of a Labradorean flower from the wild
Flourishing in the sun and hothouse warmth of this isle
Alone far from its fellows
Or a delicate frost bitten Japanese lily
Strangled without sun and withering beside a cool window
Blasted by north Atlantic storms
The choice was simple
And I do not regret it
