Montreal Dons Its Grey November Trenchcoat

You
always wore
a stone grey trenchcoat
in November

It
always suited you better
when it snowed

You
always let the zombies come out
on Sunday night
and let the pigeons and bums
feed on your waste

You
rang church bells
in my backyard
every night at six

You
were always so kind
to me
and my bicycle

You
always
amazed me
by becoming
so much more
beautiful
in May
