Pour Ma Soeur Jamaiquaine Un Peu Perdue Sur L'ile De Manhattan Poem by Michael Walker

June's sister is not necessarily family. The sister is new in Manhattan. I likethis open form poem- the imagery: 'waters flowing like love alive', ' like the sweat of tiger lilies'. The antithesis: ' the cold place' (either weather or emotional or impersonal)and the 'warm or even hot waters'. I have seen DVDs of New York, in which the waters of the ocean and rivers combine with the high-rise buildings of Manhattan to make a very impressive sight.
