Three Poems by CG Inglis


 

Dundas Square


Screens flicker:

 

            a smile & its teeth;

            clothing;

            clothing;

            SALE –

 

the whitewashed pavement;

 

a progress of bodies

through backlit

smoke.

 

 

King Palace


In echo of the road’s curve,

the hollowed face of an apartment:

 

balconies in slanting rows,

concrete and

chicken

wire.

 

Further:

 

a menu printed on a wall,

plated curries framed

in yellow.

 

The towering sign

rising from a planter

choked w/

coffee cups,

plastic bottles,

weeds.


 

Highway


Asphalt;

lamp posts;

flowers on a cross.

 

A woman’s hands,

white-knuckled.

 

Traffic.
