The streets I grew up on
lined with exhaust
covered water
you can walk
without falling through
I'm reminded of Friedrich's
icy portrait
a landscape I know
but have not seen
I listen to a gifted
mix of Yo-Yo Ma
passing the ever-changing
storefronts of my youth
a breeze that carries
each perfect seagull
