I live in a town with plenty of copper roofed old buildings. Without this hint, this poem is a riddle




verdigris

named for the island of love
having an age of its own

 

a police officer whose eyes
has seen way too much  for comfort
her hair

too much salt with the pepper

like a weathered roof

 

a city scape in the air
in pale green
