love has taken a vacation
and the vacation is adrift
love has taken a vacation
and the vacation is adrift
young love so full of passion, colour, prints, and photos
now all the love shared is grey and stained with wine
where are the days in chinatown
the hours passed with cameras at the laundromat
and the waking together
to the smell of burnt coffee and yesterdays cigarettes
where has love gone
a young boy looks to the city as a light of promise and hope
as an old man looks upon a dwindling city candle of history and time
and the city lies still above the buzzing prays
of old men and hopeful youth
another humid montréal day
reclining gently into the evening
