Snow in gusty bursts
manor room on mount royal
my roman a clef
In cafe windows
on Sainte Catherine street
a poet's white ghost
A book-of-hours sky
frames the city’s old quarter
buoyant in cold air
Animal figure
on snowy storefront sidewalk
empty winter street
In vieux Notre Dame
a double harpsichord fugue
wooden ships in mid-air
A maze of ice pools
surrounds the palace of ice
eerie alone there
Champs-de-Mars
Down from the old town
this terrace to the next train
no one knows I’m here
High rise ornaments
Christmas on other planets
the wreath of doom
November 2005
