montréal

you send your messenger to me
every word she speaks is french poetry
métis beauty
impetuous and dangerous
where less than full is spurned
she is a chef of passion
i am a stove upon which
she cooks desire
we take the train to montréal
from toronto's union station
she demands the window seat
and falls asleep
waking only to observe
the flight of a falcon
