Open
SOME YOUNGER POETS
by Linda Suter
Gloria tua he was singing in a voice so loud
it split my ears on my car radio. I thought
about the open deep emotions I feel now this
time of year; the dark, its candles, its hush
and glory. The light was green, I drove on; his
voice filled my whole head. A police car
ignoring the red light pushes noses
the intersection: I dare him proceeding but
fear he will hit me; stop;
see his lights flash blue white blue
before my hood,
his round muscle face, fist yelling, wordless,
hear nothing: the deep voice of the tenor.
The gesture of his shouting makes him move,
huge chest, face as if he chewed
something impossibly stuck
to his teeth: up, snarl, down;
a flash of hurt and anger,
I realize that he is screaming at me. Behind him a dark
red fire engine, square, waits
to get through the intersection.
