two poems
by Kim Poirier
I. montreality
A light blue metro car travels down a cannibal’s throat
The Place Ville Marie searchlight swivels
Leonard Cohen’s look of faint play adjudicates
the cold and hookery street.
I am so vanishingly small beneath the hot, perfervid red shadow
of the Mt Royal crucifix;
My cry in the concrete,
My cry in the bottleglass,
My cry in the frost:
Not the gestalt of the thing,
but some slice.
II. greening
There is a green wildfire of mint in a terracotta pot
and there is a sheath of summer-smelling parsley woven against the ground
There is a you—on the yellow seat with wine.
You, who gathered african violets in her arms and stole them,
with rushing, nervy steps from their greening-golding continent,
and there is a toothpick tilted against your lips, inert levantine wood, droll and unassuming.
Your body screams yes god and your the-irish-were-oppressed-you-know green eyes are zambian-mined and dollar-minted and your Fashion Nova clothes come from nowhere all.
