ACRONYMS & GLOSSARY
Montreal July
White light, white walls,
bright light, bright sun,
blue sky, grey cloud,
koto drums, Montreal haze,
damp heat, breeze
through an apartment’s doors
to the garden to the street.
Snatches of birdsong,
quiet night of summer.
Jazz played out,
crowds gone home,
singing stopped,
crowds all alone.
A car door shut,
a different sound,
one car drives by,
steps in the street
around midnight.
“Good night.”
