Picture this:
a journey through time
marked in artifacts,
some past,
some present.
On the wormtrail of the tailings,
rusted machinery;
a memory of dredges and cats combined.
On the gravel below
a Parks Canada sign offers
an explanation,
while two cables offer
support to a power pole.
All this is framed by
an empty sign that once offered
support to a business,
and now provides
a glimpse into the past
which supports our future.
