The body of Toni Onley
VANCOUVER – The body of Vancouver artist Toni Onley has been recovered nearly three months after his plane crashed into the Fraser River, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported Wednesday.

Grim landscape, a reaping of the sun
set out on the canvass. He’s looking into the sun, nose
scooping across the water, the light

blinds him but he figures it
for vision and just

as he’s about to touch the godhead, or
a revelation more real than
it is art, it’s

over, a wall of river
splashing into the cockpit
like paint – crimson, azure,

overpowering.
