A Victoria Harbor Night

 

A Victoria Harbor Night

 

Nosenipping fresh air

with woodsmoke wafting,

gulls squealing,

trumpet “Lonely Bull” and

bagpipes for pennies.

Foghorns forlorn warning

over whooshing waves.

Fringe Festival,

grunge gaelic,

Tap Tap Clomp

Tap Tap Stomp.

Fluid, free, transfixed

dancing flight of

swanlike arms,

swimming,

swooping,

swirling.

“Have a magical evening.”

 

September, 1995
