Montreal 1955
A dampened spray; a slapping sheet
Tar and gravel; my bare feet
A windy view of rooftop world
The deeping sky with clouds unfurled
An outlined fort of broken bricks
A winding lane of artists' tricks
The army of the parking lot
Wanders home, its battles fought
A Sunday park, an emerald pond
The chalt's view, a city's song
A parkbench lunch; the marble shrine
A twilight ride at evening time
Sunset flames on chimney brick
Summer evening, sweet and thick
Against a sky of deep claret
The smokey city's silhouette
A lamplit room where heavy heads
Are climbing into tall warm beds
Somewhere outside the city sleeps
As rain falls on the rainbow streets
