the three muses of montreal
a city of beauty
Montreal breathes life
onto cobblestone streets
and sidewalk cafes with pretty people
as we wait on a long line once again
for the second night
to steal yet another kiss
to taste with anticipation le jardin’s special lobster seafood crepes
an encore presentation
to melt our sublime lips
into submission of a love story for a city
with bicycles and street entertainers
performing their magic in vieux port
like a fine wine, an old port
It feels magical here
and when I saw the three muses
on Rue Saint-Paul
engaged in conversation
or perhaps gossip
I’m sure above a whisper,
uninvited, I joined them,
since they conjured memories of carefree days
with my best friends and so I felt
drawn to their beauty
les chuchoteuses
bronze art in motionless motion
i intruded on their privacy
i invaded their space
I inquired as to who they were
I even googled,
les chuchoteuses
I must be forgiven, for they blew my mind
with inspiration
les chuchoteuses
my lovely three muses on Rue Saint-Paul
in the beautiful, captivating city
of Montreal.
