Side by side

Blue Hills 44

So much of a city
is light on stonework, woodwork;
demolition turns us into archaeologists
using the maps;
memory,
a particular daub of colour
there, to the right,
of that mountain down the street.

So much of a city
is light on stonework, woodwork;
demolition turns us into archaeologists
using the maps;
memory,
a particular daub of colour
