Canadian Museum of Human Rights

rising monolith on riverbank
cranes surrounding
at the top a spire
------- just girders now
------- imagination fills in rest

iceberg-like with no clean corners
or discernible geometry
attracting the curious eye
to the future possibilities
of glass and steel

beneath the iceberg’s visible shape
rests the large invisible reality
--------dangerous
--------important
--------unfathomable
--------deep
--------unavoidable
--------under construction
