Did you know that kiwis grow in Nova Scotia?

Pieces of New Zealand, rock & soil
lodged in the Atlantic, closer to

Greenland & the arctic cap, the highest tides
& black sand, tropical fruit grows

amidst northern hurricanes, orchards survive
seasons of snow squalls, Chinese gooseberries

renamed, rebranded, reminding you
distance does not equal divide, promising

maybe when you least expect it, a small taste of home.
