behind them, pace to and fro
on the window-ledge, darkly
muttering to themselves
about what we cannot know.
Even here, on the top floor
of a downtown Vancouver hotel,
with a lovely view of the harbor,
the boat-house in Stanley Park
and snow-capped mountains,
the pigeons pace up and down
in the green gathering dusk,
muttering to the gargoyles
who grin and, darkly, agree.
