last of the old

This may be the last vestige of the old industrial district along False Creek, Vancouver.
Luxury condominiums and the Olympic Village are moving in. What a change.

looking through dirty glass, looking through the sign,
looking over the water, seeing towers

ship in the fog

shipinfog.jpg

Spooky sights lingering after last week’s witching
Thick morning fog parting, revealing
Haunting glimpses of a ship, shifting shape
Like Coleridge’s death ship in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Then sun burning away the last wispings of fog
My world shifting back to normal.

awake at 4:30 am, enthralled
by brilliant moonlight
dancing lights on the water
like dreams of water ballet

Ugly or beautiful? Isn’t it odd that it depends on which hat I’m wearing.
Am I judging the state of the property? Or am I in my artist’s state of mind?

Later:
Hey! I just discovered that Reflections in Broken Glass is also the title of a biography of Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and film director Neil Young!
