Impressionists
These paintings Paris laughed down
A hundred years ago
Have finally attained their salon.
In a house of sheer window
Stitched to a cliff's edge
In crystalline vertigo,
Street scenes from the age
Of the Grand Passion for Light
Hang to great advantage.
In silver frames over white
Wicker, off-white leather
And books of Monet and Cassatt,
Old plazas of rainy weather –
Soft underlit faces
Of shoppers sheltered together
And spaced by the rhythmic oases
Of black umbrellas – provide
Just the right resting places
For folks back from the wide
World that deepens a tan,
Companionably inside
In the quietly dancing sheen
Of sunlight swept to the eaves
By spangled Lake Michigan,
A dappled family runny
With leaves and blinding waves
Of water, light and money.
– Bruce Berger (1988)
