Bengal Curry
65 West Broadway, New York
between Murray & Warren Streets
1, 2, 3, A, C, or E trains to Chambers Street
1 1⁄2 blocks below Chambers St

Just then, the blizzard rushes into the street
on its messenger bike,
trailing its heavy veil through the crowd.

Is this a sales offer from the store,
or is it something that will change my life, I ask,

but the snowflakes fill the tall man’s mouth
before he can answer.

Conjure Illinois deckled in rain:
Corn fields
whispering through
the Connemarra burren;
Hear the crop
crackle over a peat fire.
