boys of rue mouffetard nothing furtive about the boys their heads high a smile for the girls as they transport magnum Bordeaux bottles the length of their arms cradled to hips nor the girls walking home from school who know the boys bring wine cradled to hips wrapped tightly in their arms Alan Girling Alan Girling writes poetry mainly, sometimes fiction, non-fiction, or plays. His work has been seen in print, heard on the radio, at live readings, even viewed in shop windows. Such venues include Blynkt, Panoply, Hobart, The MacGuffin, Smokelong Quarterly, FreeFall, Galleon, Blue Skies, The Ekphrastic Review and CBC Radio among others. He is happy to have had poems win or place in four local poetry contests and to have a play produced for the Walking Fish Festival in Vancouver, B.C.
