Sunday afternoon. Everywhere closed. Christkatholische Kirche. Wandering.
Munsterplatz. Chapelle de L’Église Libre. I hear bells ring.
The Stadtbach outside of the Rathaus is the only sound
I can make out. Everything else is all underground.
The Aareweg by the wood is full. I’ve gone and lost my way.
All green. It could be in Chicago on St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day. I meet them at the station.
In the Barengraben, they’re all coming out of their hibernation.
