Lock Nº 1
September 16th. Overcast. I woke up at around three thirty in the morning, into the kind of night that still has an old apartment folded inside it, a door that used to slam a particular way. I sighed, got up, and made the bed. For once I didn't run the usual math, didn't lie there...

Controlled Edges
Most of the water I return to has some kind of edge built around it. The fenced-off harbour path. The Grand Quai. Ponds engineered to look wild. Canals with their concrete banks doing the work water used to do on its own. The VM/S Hercules sits across from Habitat 67 and doesn't move. It has...

The Pull
Punamu'kwati'jk, five o'clock, watching the fog clear off Kjipuktuk's skyline across the water. Cranes over the harbour, more of them than I remember, and I lose count past fifteen. I'm on a half log, cut flat like a bench, right against the rocks, right against the ocean. The fog had gotten on the ferry with...

Circuit
July 24th. Mid-afternoon, mostly cloudy. I move from the harbour up to Barrington. I hang a right on Spring Garden and keep walking until I reach Dal. Back down University Avenue instead this time before returning to the water again. I didn't decide to do any of that. I was halfway through before I clocked...

Every Ten Years
July 8. Sunny. I pass under the Chinatown gate a little after seven, heading down Saint-Laurent toward the water. This is one of a few routes I take most mornings, meandering through the Quartier des Spectacles some days, down along René-Lévesque others, but they tend to end the same way, at the river. I couldn't...

Trophies
Eight-thirty and I’ve been awake since six. The body has been doing this since I sent the dissertation in: waking itself before I decide to wake, some obscure bodily alarm I didn’t set going off in the dark. I ended up at a coffee shop I’d never tried before–less by choice and moreso because all...

Saskatchewan!
Le train est passé pendant que je m'installais encore dans l'herbe, pendant que le sol négociait encore avec mon poids. Des wagons lents, arrondis, sur les voies entre la berge du canal et le silo, en direction du port. J'ai pu lire le côté de l'un d'eux au passage. Saskatchewan ! avec le point d'exclamation....

Saskatchewan!
The train came through while I was still settling into the grass, while the ground was still negotiating with my weight. Slow, rounded cars on the tracks between the canal bank and the silo, heading toward the harbour. I could read the side of one as it passed. Saskatchewan! with the exclamation point. Green paint,...

Place d’Youville
May 20th, 10 AM. Twenty-three degrees and the wind is moving through the field in a way that keeps changing its mind. I'm sitting near the old Customs House, just off rue McGill, in what is now a wide green space ringed with historical plaques. This is where the first Parliament of the Province of...

Fort Street
May 9th. Sunny. I'm walking past the Winnipeg Police Service headquarters at 11 in the morning when I turn off Graham onto Fort Street and the timing is what it is. Two men coming from the gym, laughing, easy with each other and with the morning. They glance down at the man on the sidewalk...

Eastward
The ice is gone. I notice this before I've settled fully onto the bench, the oat milk moka still warm between my hands, the pines along the boardwalk doing their slow work in the wind. Habitat 67 sits in my peripheral vision the way it always does. The Jacques-Cartier Bridge. The amusement park still closed...

Unmoored
The morning after the election, the city looks the same. Dry streets, brittle air, leaves pressed flat against the pavement. A jogger passes, breath clouding the cold, and somewhere, a car alarm starts and stops. Montréal continues its routine with the precision of muscle memory, a city that knows how to disguise grief. Inside, the...
