who is who

blue skies fade white in glass
resolving clear in warm air
intoxicating reflection
in liquid suspended
over rough marble atop a thin column
inverted arch
vessel of windows and doors
opening murals mosaics in bas-relief
shimmering in polychrome of famous words
strolling nude bright eyes clean violence soaring music
grand schemes

belvedere at sunrise
(the hotel belvedere opened on chase street in 1903)

vast assemblage

in happy land
fortresses burn
schemes of bondage
storm
breaks rock in loud applause
peace and safety
find

armory to west at sunrise
(the fifth regiment armory on bolton and preston streets, built in 1901 and dedicated in 1903, hosted civic events and conventions, including the northeastern saengerbund shortly after its dedication)
