POINTS ON THE GRID

George Bowering

GRANVILLE STREET BRIDGE


out my new front window
winds away from downtown
Vancouver

..................at night a cordon
of light globes
bringing cars

.........................headlights that meet
in the dark

Me suspended here
on my second storey

.............................a jump
.............................from the street

dark balcony
buttressed
only

......................an arm’s reach
......................to the bridge
......................the shadow of an arm
......................‘s reach to the city
