My Pittsburgh
Flanks of our ancient hills
wear hundreds of shades of brown & gray.
The roads coil & uncoil
over our wide basins,
our waterways & inlets,
the channels
now feeble, now flooded.
The brooklets & gutters run hard
after this morning's heavy summer storm.
The form of a city changes faster
than the heart of a mortal.
