POETRY: YVONNE ADALIAN

A CITY STREET

I swim thru the tunnel
of stately maples 
on old Barclay Street

where smart cars fart
beneath protective leaves.
A luminous green sky

that forms a canopy
over the grey green river
of a shape shifting street.

Even here their instinct
is to protect.
To give and give and give.
Born in England Yvonne has spent the majority of her life being an actor coast to coast in Canada.  She now lives in Vancouver B.C .  A passionate activist since her days on the front lines of protest against logging in the Carmanah Valley on Vancouver Island in the  eighties, one of the first of such successes , she believes that climate change is the most urgent issue on the planet and mourns the loss of every tree .
