Poems by Michael Ondaatje
To A Sad Daughter
... You who feel superior to black and white movies ...
The Cinnamon Peeler
... you climbed the bank and saidthis is how you touch other women ...
The Time Around Scars
... all the love that never occurred between us ...
Bearhug
... Grinning.Why do I give my emotion an animal's name, ...
Speaking To You (From Rock Bottom)
... is a memory a tableau behind trees of lawIn the midst of love for you ...
Elizabeth
... who'd hold my breast and watch it move like a snail ...
Application For A Driving License
... I am a good driver, nothing shocks me ...
Notes For The Legend Of Salad Woman
... grow sparse in their week long performance in our house ...
(Inner Tube)
... towards an estuary between treesthere's a dog ...
Breakage
... dropped by the gulls onto the gray rocks and all the moisture gone ...
White-Eyes
... But his big, round music, after all, ...
