    Poetry

    À Istanbul (IV)

    Salim Gold

    The muezzin, awake to God, awakes us,
    Crying; his words splinter inside our ears,
    While daylight sparks upon the splintered sea.
    Look! The Bosphorus shines like bone. Next, blue dusk
    Boils among black palms and gold minarets.
    Then, night—fat with stars—shelters an Eden
    Of exchange: Flood our mouths with wine and kisses;
    That welling fanaticism is Want.

    Bert Bailey
     

    "All of Toronto seemed to have shown up for that awful production!" Phil complained.


    "It wasn't so dreadful, was it?" someone asked.


    Sybill's eyes lit up, and she almost rose out of her seat to add:


    "Yes, and didn't Millie say she saw Christopher Plummer in the lobby?" Everyone turned to her end of the table. This was the first thing she had said since the three couples had arrived from a nearby theatre.

    Aftermath

    Lisa Twadowska

    Him: Dirty gypsy. [He spits.]
    Kora: This is my spot. Get lost.
    Him: I’m not going anywhere
    Kora: Find your own spot. [Beat. He stands there. She glowers at him]
    Him: Cat got your tongue, dirty gypsy.
    Kora: I’m not dirty.

    Quote

    When an artist explains what he is doing he usually has to do one of two things: either scrap what he has explained, or make his subsequent work fit in with the explanation.
