Artists in Residence

Edinburgh City
“Athens of the North”
From head to tail it stretches a royal mile
“Auld Reekie”
Its veins flow down the close
“Old Smoky”
I walk along its backbone of cobbled stones
Edinburgh’s “Wee Beastie”

A gray haze blankets the city
The sun paints Old Town
Red Lion, Blue Cross, Union Jack
The city moves
Flags flapping in the wind
Red white cages
Tilt and sway
Elevated steel
Round and round
Seeing the city
Day and night
“Wait for the little green man.”
