| "Corning Alleyway, Market Street" 14x10 watercolor, SOLD! |
back doors
of shops
of businesses
smokers’ alley
doors open
guys walk out
light up
***
small touch of New Orleans
hanging pots of flowers
other living greenery
enliven back alley
but only scattered places
not like French Quarter
plants, flowers festooning
residential, business buildings
on nearly every street
where’s street musicians
where’s riverside walkway
where’s horse drawn carriages
where’s urine smelling morning Bourbon Street
where’s homeless people sleeping on benches
only a small touch of New Orleans
Poems by Michael Czarnecki
