Each Bedroom has Two Doorways

Only after several years
of cottage living
did I wake up one morning,
recollecting that
when we visited my grandparents’
Georgian Bay cottage in summer
whilst the blueberries were ripe,
I’d hear my Grand-dad
going out his bedroom’s back door
22 in hand,
before dawn brightened,
to scare the pesky goundhog
near his garden plot.
