Concrete and glass
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above
Amber and rouge
Blue and black
Skyline betwixt
The sky and sea
Amber and rouge
Blue and black
Skyline betwixt
The sky and sea
But I found instead
A monochromatic panoply
Of materialistic
Greed
Selfishness
Dishonour
Once
Abandoned
Derelict
Unprofitable
Now
I lean into the attacking wind
Hold the camera steady
As the battalion of clouds
Advance, malice intended
But what built the city
As much as the hands of men
Is the bay and a river
A natural crossroads
Betwixt and between
Whistler and Blackcomb
And miles of untracked snow
