On Thursday I Will Drink a Tomatoe Juice in Montreal

A Poem by Anne Timmins

 On Thursday I will drink a tomatoe juice in Montreal, 
I'll hope for rain, for lights reflected
across the windshields of double parked cars;
weather to fit my mood, the half-shut eyes
of a midnight cocktail shaker alone at the bar. 
I'll visit all the situations in the city. 

Montreal was crazy that winter for old rock and roll; 
girls two-stepped with each other in cellar clubs. 
I'll try to exorcise ghosts 20-years old;
your packed bags by the door, a drained juice glass
and a taxi sounding its horn. I had on white heels, 
it was that long ago.

Did you drink you tomatoe juice in Montreal? I would of added vodka and hot sauce/spices. A hot bloody Mary is easy to make mind fix old and new problems. I like the thoughts and the places described in the poetry. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I enjoyed it. I think you captured the mood of what you were feeling and I like the part about Montreal the best. Have you ever been to Whitehorse in the Yukon? I've been through there a few times on my way to Alaska. Northern Canada is really beautiful. You're lucky to live there.

Taking a break from life to relax and reminisce with items that bring you to the past and allow you a chance to look it through rose-colored glasses . . . Gentle and simple, yet so poignant. Well done.

WOW-the imagery and strength of emotion in this piece that goes on and on kept to the subject and expanded on it remarkably! I love Montreal!
