      For our mothers –

      Ursula Schumacher, Ruth Dyck and Katrin Rosenberg

      "Out of a misty dream our path emerges for a while,

      then closes with a dream."

      Frank Dawson, 1896

      INTRODUCTION

      The Number 19 Writers’ Group includes Katrin Horowitz, Joy Huebert and Gisela Ruebsaat, who met at the Victoria School of Writing during the summer of 2008 in a fiction workshop facilitated by Steven Galloway, author of The Cellist of Sarajevo.

      We share our writing and we hike the nearby hills, particularly Mount Doug.

      Our goals are to critique each other’s work, to connect with readers and writers of fiction and poetry and to build a stronger creative community in Victoria.

      Gisela Ruebsaat

      I WILL TAKE WITH ME

      She will stand at the prow sniffing,

      in my boat,

      inside my shoes,

      Prince, the Brittany Spaniel, as if she stilled lived.

      When it is night on the water, I will make a song for the stars.

      The story of my mother, stowed deep in a waterproof bag

      I will take with me.

      I will take with me

      rolled scraps of paper inside my shoes,

      my recorder – German rosewood, a soprano

      with her hunter’s nose and stub of tail.

      My legs heavy and strong

      I will take with me.

      Gisela Ruebsaat

      I DON’T WALK WITH THE WOUNDED

      Let my legs

      run me up the mountain.

      Let my skis

      find a sure line through steep moguls.

      Let my muscles

      ripple and glide.

      Just once would be enough.

      Let me leave the station.

      Let me forget.

      Let me enter a new country

      without papers or proof.

      Let me find the cathedral

      without confession,

      the altar a stone.

      Let me climb the hundred stairs up the bell tower.

      Let me see the ancient city

      before dark.

      And if I fall,

      let me go in my true body.

      The one free of pain.

      The one that knows.

      Gisela Ruebsaat

      GOING TO GERMANY

      It’s not only boats

      that cross water.

      Traveling morse code messages

      that make a foreign sound:

      tapping, dots and dashes

      abstract on the page.

      Going back with

      a new suitcase,

      hard red.

      Arriving with no key.

      A father searches

      through his old collection

      to find one that fits.

      Leaving the motherland.

      Two toddlers tied together

      with rope on the decks of the winter Atlantic.

      Sick with loss and the tossing.

      A father’s death.

      Trying to return.

      Papers invalid.

      Crying before a man in uniform.

      A sudden softening,

      the stamp of approval

      and the movement towards.

      Now a son leaves

      across a huge new continent,

      first by train.

      The holding at the
