Holly, Ontario - Said The Whale

Holly far from home

First time on the road

Stops beside the lake

And walks out onto the snow

Just eighteen years old

First time away from home

Discommunicates

For the first time truly alone

Holly digs a hole

And kneels as though to pray

Reveals a shrouded phone

And buries it in the lake

Holly far from home

First time on the road

Drives beside the lake

For the first time in north Ontario
