Four Years: Apparition Poems: Westminster Arch

Hard to believe it's been four years since I wrote Apparition Poems. It was mostly written in my apartment at Westminster Arch, 23rd and Arch, Center City Philly, here shown. The view from my windows was quite grungy, even lurid: but at least I could always get the time & temp from the Utilities Building across the street. And in winter, as it mostly was when I wrote AP, with the blinds half-drawn, I got a potent "noir" effect. Turn up the Third/Sister Lovers. This page from Stoning the Devil, 12-09-09, is as representative as any.
