Suddenly the city was empty,
its residents in mass holiday exodus.
Green pharmacy crosses flashing all the more brightly for the lack of
headlights on the boulevards below.
The fountain at Place du Maréchal Lyautey burbling all the more clearly
for the lack of early evening drinkers on the patios of bars nearby. And the sky over the chimneys of Croix-Rousse all the more otherworldly
when seen alone in the south meadow of Parc de la Tête d’Or, the light fading
and the summer darkening.
