When Dona died
The spring grasses yellowed,
Our cheeks ashen.  Her hair became a little redder
In our minds.  The boy and the man strained

Under the constraints
Of communication.  What was the sign
For "everything will be alright"?  "Fine,"
Yes, you should say, "Fine."  That is better.

Better than just, "okay".

London fashion designer ­Carmina De Young is bringing her first ready-to-wear collection to market with the support of two local fashion mavens, wardrobe and image consultant Susan Jacobs, and business mentor Gloria Dona.

De Young’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection is now available by appointment at the Pop with Purpose studio,

The studio recently held an informal fashion show featuring De Young’s collection.

De Young was born and raised in Puebla, Mexico and discovered her passion as a young child, taking inspiration from her mother’s creative flair for fashion and design.

A graduate of Fanshawe College’s Fashion Design program, De Young’s clothing has been showcased locally and on national platforms, including at Vancouver Fashion Week and at the Caisa Fashion Show at Western University.

De Young started her own label in 2012 and now has a 25-piece ready-to-wear collection ranging from office to casual activities to a night on the town.

Each piece is available in size XS to XL with prices ranging from $79 to $259.

Instead of trying to break into the notoriously-difficult retail market, Dona and Jacobs offered to bring the De Young collection directly to London women through the Pop with Purpose studio.

“We love that we can offer women locally designed and manufactured clothing where they know the designer and know that they are helping make dreams come true,” says Jacobs. “There’s power in that. It’s incredible.”

Topspin scoops award

London-based Topspin Technologies Ltd., has been awarded the Synapse Life Sciences award for innovation in health. Their product, the Topspin360, beat out more than 60 invited applicants for products that demonstrate an innovation in health in Ontario.

This award follows the London-based Techalliance “Techcellence” award the company won earlier this year.

The Topspin360 is the first patented training device that helps improve neck muscles to reduce concussion risk.

Theo Versteegh, who earned his PhD in physiotherapy from Western University in 2016, developed the device after watching the Sidney Crosby hit in 2011 that caused his concussion.

Versteegh found that many sports concussions are the result of the whiplash effect.

The Topspin can be used in all sports, especially those at high risk for concussion, and also in military applications.

Northerner joins Fortune

David Ramsay, a former cabinet minister in the government of the Northwest Territories, has joined the board of directors of London-based Fortune Minerals .

Ramsay has more than 20 years of elected public office experience in the Northwest Territories. His cabinet portfolios included industry, justice, transportation and public utilities.

Fortune is working with three levels of government on infrastructure projects important to the success of the company’s NICO gold-cobalt-bismuth-copper project in the Northwest Territories.

One project is a 94-kilometre all-season highway to the community of Whati, northwest of Yellowknife.

The road is supported by the Tlicho Government, a Dene First nation and would reduce the cost of living and improve the quality of life in the outlying Tlicho communities and promote economic activity. Fortune has already received environmental assessment approval to build a spur road from Whati to the NICO mine.

Delta hosts bridal show

The London Wedding Professionals will hold their second Bridal Showcase at the Delta London Armouries on April 30.

The event offers a smaller, more intimate experience for brides to meet local wedding industry experts, ask questions, and get inspired for their wedding day.

The show features products and services from professionals including gowns, photography, florists, venues, DJs, hair and makeup and wedding planners.

The showcase also puts a focus on inspiring brides with Vignettes throughout the space showcasing different themes or colour palettes.

The show runs from 11 a.m-3 p.m. and admission is free.

Student makes his pitch

Sean Cornelius from St. André Bessette Catholic secondary school in London is one of 20 teenage entrepreneurs heading to Toronto May 8–10 to compete in this year’s edition of the Young Entrepreneurs, Make Your Pitch competition

Selected from the 204 two-minute video pitches entered, Cornelius earned the right to participate in a Dragon’s Den-style pitch contest at Discovery, Ontario Centres of Excellence’s annual innovation-to-commercialization conference, to be held on May 9 at Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Hamilton Road looks ahead

¡Oh, Señor! Dios de los ejércitos,
eterno Padre, eterno Rey,
por este mundo que creaste
con la virtud de tu poder;
porque dijiste: la luz sea,
y a tu palabra la luz fue;
porque coexistes con el Verbo,
porque contigo el Verbo es
desde los siglos de los siglos
y sin mañana y sin ayer,
requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
el lux perpetua luceat eis!
¡Oh Jesucristo, por el frío
de tu pesebre de Belem,
por tus angustias en el Huerto,
por el vinagre y por la hiel,
por las espinas y las varas
con que tus carnes desgarré,
y por la cruz en que borraste
todas las culpas de Israel;
Hijo del Hombre, desolado,
trágico Dios, tremendo Juez:
requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
el lux perpetua luceat eis!
¡Divino Espíritu, Paráclito,
aspiración del gran Iaveh,
que unes al Padre con el Hijo,
y siendo el Uno sois los Tres;
por la paloma de alas níveas,
por la inviolada doncellez
de aquella Virgen que en su vientre
llevó al Mesías Emmanuel;
por las ardientes lenguas rojas
con que inspiraste ciencia y fe
a los discípulos amados
de Jesucristo, nuestro bien:
requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
el lux perpetua luceat eis!

qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem*


Bejesus we walked so far!
It was beautiful country, mind,
feet dappling through hedgerows
that led from the city, in silence,
to rest where all flesh shall come.

I remember how it started,
walled in with the others.
Lord you could dance!
How were they to comprehend
that the kink in my arm
and your off-beat jive
could lead us unguided
to narrow pathways forcing single file?

                    By a river we sat together—
amid long words and fingerprints
your skin bled dark with guilt
and for my part I saw coracles
sprout upon your breath.
We weighed down these little craft
with the chains of our sins
and tied fast the bones of our future
as payment for the ferryman.

One day perhaps, the river will dissolve to ash,
revealing our two disciples
discarded as the chance to heal,
                    there will be love
                    like a great and gentle pulse
mingling with cold stones
and memories our
downcast eyes, cheekbones to the fore.

Smile, Dear Child, smile
Our tears will be gone -
In a while.

Dieu a appelé ton nom
Et les anges t'apportent au Ciel
Ton étoile brillera toujours
Il donne espoir aux rêveurs,
Il nous rappel de ton amour.

Requiem eternam dona ei
Et lux perpetua luceat ei
We will always, always love you,
our dear, sweet Carrie.

Careta era o cavalo
A quem o sal dado
Em mim sangrava.

Tinka, um dos 2 cachorros –
Meu predileto era o Leão.
Brigavam como cães e gatos.

I Think era como o chamava -
ao primeiro dos cães
o americano missionário.

Shibiu, ou será Chibiu?
– era o cachorro de dona Modesta
Nossa mãe adotada: sempre atenta
A que nenhum bicho nos agarrasse.

Lembro-me também do Bito –
Aquele disgramado, culpado duas
Vezes por esta cicatriz que trago
No meio das costelas e no fardo
Pessoal que carregamos vida afora.

Bito não era bode expiatório
– mas cabrito imolado tampouco.
Acho que era o diabo tocando viola.

Eu alimentava os porcos
Sem expulsar ninguém
Morro abaixo...

I.

Ce petit bonhomme bleu
Qu'un souffle apporte et remporte,
Qui, dès que tu dors un peu,
Gratte de l'ongle à ta porte,

C'est mon rêve. Plein d'effroi,
Jusqu'à ton seuil il se glisse.
Il voudrait entrer chez toi
En qualité de caprice.

Si tu désires avoir
Un caprice aimable, leste,
Et prenant un air céleste
Sous les étoiles du soir,

Mon rêve, ô belle des belles,
Te convient ; arrangeons-nous.
Il a ton nom sur ses ailes
Et mon nom sur ses genoux.

Il est doux, ***, point morose,
Tendre, frais, d'azur baigné.
Quant à son ongle, il est rose,
Et j'en suis égratigné.

II.

Prends-le donc à ton service.
C'est un pauvre rêve fou ;
Mais pauvreté n'est pas vice.
Nul coeur ne ferme au verrou ;

Ton coeur, pas plus que mon âme,
N'est clos et barricadé.
Ouvre donc, ouvrez, madame,
A mon doux songe évadé.

Les heures pour moi sont lentes,
Car je souffre éperdument ;
Il vient sur ton front charmant
Poser ses ailes tremblantes.

T'obéir sera son voeu ;
Il dorlotera ton âme ;
Il fera chez toi du feu,
Et, s'il le peut, de la flamme.

Il fera ce qui te plaît ;
Prompt à voir tes désirs naître ;
Belle, il sera ton valet,
Jusqu'à ce qu'il soit ton maître.

Todo lo ves rifando uno tres
Un padre entre el desmadre
El varrio de los pobres
Nunca tuvimos dinero
El meromero ser primero
Siempre seguir adelante
Controlando el bolante
No caer para ver mi progreso
Tambien aumentar el ingreso
No soy un pinchi menso
Porque que cres no me venso
Alcontrario con la mente yo pienso
Me voy recio miro hacia enfrente
Combirtiendome en el presidente
No son simple mentiras
Puro polvo es lo que respiras
Esclavitud es todo lo que tu miras
No lo cres en la noche sal y talves
Del mes ya despues de las tres
Muchos mueren otros pierden
La vida sigue rolando altanto
En las calles caminando
Soy commando con el mando
Con patadas te mando volando
A putasos y zintadazos
Te dejo tirado pisado a un lado
Carajo no sabias yo nunca me rajo
Te rompo las berijas y los labios
Te tumbo las orejas y manos
Pa que veas te quebro los dientes
No seas culo para que no mientas
Me aseguro que todo lo sientas
Te llene la frente de sangre roja
Y los ojos morados bien cortados
Hinchados como un pinchichango
Mi despedida sera mi ultima salida
Te lleno de plumas como gallina
Un maricon dejandote en el rincon
Llorando como la grand vieja
Te llamaran dona siega la ballunca
Que no se te cruze en mente nunca

The second amendment might
As well be the sixty-ninth, for all
The life-long days it saves by
The transparent and glossy shields
Adorning blue-skied uniforms.

The strike zone is limited to the
Mobility-enhanced limbs, out of
Reach of the cardiac plateau, in
A line guarded by “I heart NYC”
Leftover campaign buttons.

Crowds question the timeless yet
Disintegrating rhetoric, and they
Sing along with misspelled threats
To sanguine attempts at love and
War, while grade schoolers watch.

What’s missing from this libretto
Is a slogan like “if they go low, we
Go high” and the money to borrow
It, or the right to use the copyright,
As long as it doesn’t get ******.

“Now hear this,” bellows the man in
The crow’s nest, stepping in front
Of his stepson who brandishes a
BB gun proudly in his arms, “the
Curfew starts at midnight!”

Dona nobis pacem, a canon of
Faith, is hummed by the last ranks
Of veterans in camouflage, hoping
To initiate a temporary calm among
The bleak and ****** crew.

A clown-faced poet attempts to draw
A smile, as she calls for an absentee
Ballot, a circuitous frontage road
Away from destiny, some think,
And a short breath of recess.

“Take away their weapons,” hollers
A very pregnant woman, who goes
Into labor, blaming the guns for her
Untimely reward, and for a moment,
Just minutes, the midwifery begins.

All this while a small coterie of men
Gathers, silently taking in the show,
Unnoticed in their pretense, but
Sporting the heritage caps of the
NRA, stars and stripes in their lapels.

The disingenuous players in this sad
Drama are about to fold their tents,
To chicken out, to return to tacos
And beer, when stillness breaks,
So much so that crickets rule.

A small boy crosses the street, his
Smile contagious, his gait strong
As he approaches the men and
Says “I am you before now, be
Of peace and good cheer.

“My commandments have no
Amendments, no magic exceptions,
No golden calves, no wicked step-
Mothers, only a heart and soul,
I am the moral of your story.”

À Mérante.

Au printemps, quand les nuits sont claires,
Quand on voit, vagues tourbillons,
Voler sur les fronts les chimères
Et dans les fleurs les papillons,

Pendant la floraison des fèves,
Quand l'amant devient l'amoureux,
Quand les hommes, en proie aux rêves,
Ont toutes ces mouches sur eux,

J'estime qu'il est digne et sage
De ne point prendre un air vainqueur,
Et d'accepter ce doux passage
De la saison sur notre coeur.

A quoi bon résister aux femmes,
Qui ne résistent pas du tout ?
Toutes les roses sont en flammes ;
Une guimpe est de mauvais goût.

Trop heureux ceux à qui les belles
Font la violence d'aimer !
A quoi sert-il d'avoir des ailes,
Sinon pour les laisser plumer ?

Ô Mérante, il n'est rien qui vaille
Ces purs attraits, tendres tyrans,
Un sourire qui dit : Bataille !
Un soupir qui dit : Je me rends !

Et je donnerais la Castille
Et ses plaines en amadou
Pour deux yeux sous une mantille,
Fiers, et venant on ne sait d'où.

O sant'asinità, sant'ignoranza,
santa stoltezza e pia devozione,
qual sola puoi far l'anime si buone
che umano ingegno e studio non l'avanza.
Non giunge faticosa vigilanza
d'arte qualunque sia o invenzione,
né dei sapienti contemplazione,
al ciel dove ti edifichi la stanza.
Che vi val (curiosi) lo studiare,
voler sapere quel che fa la natura,
se gli astri son pur terra, fuoco e mare?
La santa asinità di ciò non cura,
ma con man giunte e in ginocchio vuol stare
aspettando da Dio la sua ventura.
Nessuna cosa dura
eccetto il frutto dell'eterna requie,
la qual ci dona Dio dopo le esequie.

O dona coruja,
Me ensina a ser como você
Tão bela e destemida
Sai à procura de comida
Nesta noite desprovida de amor
Onde só existem ódio e dor.
Olhos tão abertos
Onde sempre enxergam
Nessa imensa escuridão
Um pobre cristão
Que será sua próxima refeição.
Olhos que parecem vigiar até o cego
Mas de um encanto fenomenal
Olho espectral
Onde é essencial
Para cairmos na real.

Quando eu era pequena, eu via a morte, com uma capa preta e uma foice, e uma expressão melancólica no rosto, sombria por vezes, de quem já havia levado muitas vidas.
O peso, em suas vestes, das almas corrompidas, que não queriam partir, o sangue da sua foice, onde também haviam lágrimas de quem ficava.
Com o tempo, eu passei a ter medo dela.
A vi como má.
Injusta.
Insensível.
“Como pôde Dona Morte, levar aqueles que eu amava?” Eu perguntava.
Mas a morte é só uma passagem.
Eu demorei a entender.
A aceitar.
É como se a Dona Morte fosse uma guia turística, que vem nos buscar rumo às nossas férias eternas.
Ela vem, nos despimos de qualquer bagagem, a passagem, é a nossa vida. Esse é o preço.
E então embarcamos no trem.
Rumo ao desconhecido.
Mas ao eterno.

Es una intensísima corriente
un relámpago ser de lecho
una dona mórbida ola
un reflujo zumbo de anestesia
una rompiente ente florescente
una voraz contráctil prensil corola entreabierta
y su rocío afrodisíaco
y su carnalesencia
natal
letal
alveolo beodo de violo
es la sed de ella ella y sus vertientes lentas entremuertes que
estrellan y disgregan
aunque Dios sea su vientre
pero también es la crisálida de una inalada larva de la nada
una libélula de médula
una oruga lúbrica desnuda sólo nutrida de frotes
un chupochupo súcubo molusco
que gota a gota agota boca a boca
la mucho mucho gozo
la muy total sofoco
la toda ¡shock! tras ¡shock!
la íntegra colapso
es un hermoso síncope con foso
un ¡cross! de amor pantera al plexo trópico
un ¡knock out! técnico dichoso
si no un compuesto terrestre de líbido edén infierno
el sedimento aglutinante de un precipitado de labios
el obsesivo residuo de una solución insoluble
un mecanismo radioanímico
un terno bípedo bullente
un ¡robot! hembra electroerótico con su emisora de delirio
y espasmos lírico-dramáticos
aunque tal vez sea un espejismo
un paradigma
un eromito
una apariencia de la ausencia
una entelequia inexistente
las trenzas náyades de Ofelia
o sólo un trozo ultraporoso de realidad indubitable
una despótica materia
el paraíso hecho carne
una perdiz a la crema.

I tried to assemble
The pieces of Osiris
But all the stars aligned so
That i should fail again

I tried to revive the
Body of Lazarus
but the tomb had swallowed
The words of the messiah.

Long rang the bell
My soul had come to bitter end
Desperate chants
blood does glimmer on their hands
Hammers dance on nails
They urge the dead to stay contained
Slayer eats the slain
Til the end of time til last of days

I struggle to awaken
I'm morally brain dead
But all the ****** effort
sticks me to the ground

The burden of Atlas
Lays on my two shoulders
if I drop my sky
will anyone notice

Long live the king
The reaper hand in hand with me
choir commence to sing
heaven weeps for apathy
Hades take away
All the strife and all the pain
Pie Jesu Domine
dona eis requiem.

Keanu, salvum fac pópulum tuum.
     et benedic hæreditati tuæ;
     Dona ad victoriam imperator,
     super hostes eorum.
     et ex quo imperium tuum,
     habitationem tuam substravisti.

No con altos ejemplos se modela
la perfección del alma, ni el tesoro
de un buen libro nos dona el del decoro
que a las bajas acciones se rebela.

La enseñanza no es feudo de la escuela,
que es la necesidad lección de oro,
y por impulso nato rompe en lloro
el niño, nada el pez y el ave vuela.

Nace la previsión, de lo imprevisto,
pero no la virtud con ir al templo,
ni término el saber da a nuestras dudas;

y, si de algo valiera el buen ejemplo,
¿se explica que el discípulo de un Cristo
Maestro de maestros, fuera un Judas?

anois, anois,
it's not that bad

Tanta coisa me apavora
E eu já não sei que tanto
Não sei se caibo em mim

Não mais
Não me sirvo
E a quem eu venho servindo por todo esse tempo?

Se não as lástimas que me assolam?
E eu me julgava tão dona de mim,
E me perdi

No meu próprio labirinto.
Eu queria a luz, quando estava escuro
Mal sabia que ela me cegaria, e a dor que traria ao revelar quem sou eu.

E quem sou?

O nada.
A perdição.
Um abismo.

Cuando las aguas me susurran
Y el viento me empuja
Busco a la luna
A ver si un socorro me dona

Cuando miro hacia dentro
Registro si hay algo cierto
O si esta construcción
Es fraudulenta
Y me he traicionado
A mi propio ser

Tantas veces afirmé
Y muchas otras erré
Que será de todos después
Cuando ya ni su reflejo
En los charcos ven

Throughout our lives we all have many streets by where we live.

We may call them my street or our street or the street I live on.

In my case they have had many names including: Slaterville Road, Mitchell Street, Rua Dona Verdiana, Ellis, Luverne to name a few.

Our streets may just contain residences or may be a mixture of both shops and homes. Some may be older while some are quite new.

Some are tree lined or have flowers and others are quite bare and pristine looking. Almost empty.

My new street is over 70 years old and hosts a cafe right by where I am, with hotels and interesting shops nearby.

It is also decorated with large trees, including orange trees, which offer a lovely bright green canopy from the sun.

Streets host our lives and witness our daily activities. They are a center point for us.

On any given day I can sit at the cafe, sip my coffee and quietly watch the world go by.

Streets ground us to where we are.

Your  job is to defend him I guess
Though you don’t brief the press
You prefer to be a Fox News guest
And regularly attack all the rest
It’s easy enough to read the tea
Cuz the whole wide world can see
He’s a liar and that is key
He chopped down the cherry tree

Now that his impeachment is alive
The question for Number 45
Is whether or not he’ll survive?
And continue to seemingly thrive
What do you hope to prove
That the President can’t be removed
Even though it is behooved
And the waters willl never be smoothed

Given all of this, you say nevertheless
You have to do your very best
To account for him I guess
And you seem to be passing the test
So you present your alternate facts
And provide what the story lacks
Like before you so did countless hacks
Who proudly call themselves flacks

You csn’t stand up to the give and take
Cuz you would be exposed as a fake
Or someone clearly on the make
So you won’t give the press a break
We’ll see you on the campaign stump
Out there shilling for Dona;d Trump
Who’ll play you for a chump
Before you land in the trash dump





















Cedric McClester,Copyright © 2020.  All rights reserved.

You were just a common man.
Born from Your mother, born from the God Pan.
So full of love You were discovering the world
Finally, what You found was a cold sword
This cold weapon mirrors your own legacy:
To be a common guy without any inadequacy

But the bug, You’ve never had,
For the little time you've lived made you so very sad
Now You are lying in a warm blood lake
Innocent, different, and everybody's shaken
But You were full of life and filled with a fresh spirit
You were fond of boys and purely for that sake
Now the death comes for You, poor boy
because the Fear has the sword as its´ toy.

Requiem aeternam, dona eis domine, it‘s sung to all the dead,
but not for You my dear boy.
Why? Someone just said,
for You there is no heavenly toy…
Your only destiny is the sword
not any eternal life, nor the Lord.
Sleep my boy, yes, a lake you will bleed!
There will be no funeral for the scary freak

The parson preaches to live in love
but this love's adjusted by dread
nobody wants the different bread
it's easier to sweep your distinct crumbs off of the world
Sleep, cute boy, the rain is coming down… maybe cries the Lord
