April Ice Storm

If the city were—
Sensible—it would simply
Pause—wait for the ice
To melt in its own good time—
Mad clocks keep it grinding on

The Queen Bee in Wintertime

Imprisoned in ice
With an army of sisters
Soon for a season
Nectar pollen sweet honey
She dreams a community

Moon over Hochelaga

Why doesn’t the moon
Seem as important down here?
Up from the river
Below the mountain—it shines
Still—on the streets heads downturned

I took a sharp knife

I took a sharp knife
And stabbed myself in the heart
More necessary
Surgery than suicide
But I murdered half the moon

Montreal becomes film noir

After an ice storm
Montreal becomes film noir
Femme fatale icy
Cold beautiful dangerous
To fools who try to cross her

The Homeowner Sexuals

I see all these men
With their summer lawn mowers
Winter snow blowers
For lawns cars they cut and blow
Me? I’m more blow and cut out

Winter thaw

Flash—winter lightning 
Noiseless on the horizon 
Crash—melting ice slides  
From the roof to the backyard 
Breaks itself and the silence

Sex with friends living and dead

I’d never had sex
With quite so many pale ghosts
Dead friends ex-lovers
Watching wide-eyed and silent
When you possessed me—they sighed

Raised ice crystal swords

Raised ice crystal swords
Threatening the pre-dawn sky
Vanquished by sunrise

Seven sparrows on

Seven sparrows on
A cedar’s sunny side–warm
Welcome New Year’s Day
