What transpires in the night before the night

Tequila. 
Horses who had to swim.
Stories my mother wrote about Acadia. 


What transpires in the night after the night

Beautiful slow stallions
blocking the channel home,
I’m drunk, and I love you.



Adèle Barclay’s poetry has appeared in The Pinch, Cosmonauts Avenue, Branch Magazine, and the anthology Lake Effect 3 (edited by Carolyn Smart). She is the Social Media Intern for Wave Books. Lately you can find her living and writing in the Canadian Pacific Northwest.
