In the ironbound section near Avenue L | |
Where the Portuguese women come to see what you sell | |
The clouds so low the morning so slow | |
As the wires cut through the sky | |
The beams and bridges cut the light on the ground | |
Into little triangles and the rails run round | |
Through the rust and the heat | |
The light and sweet coffee color of her skin | |
Bound up in wire and fate | |
Watching her walk him up to the gate | |
In front of the ironbound school yard. | |
Kids will grow like weeds on a fence | |
She says they look for the light they try to make sense. | |
They come up through the cracks | |
Like grass on the tracks | |
She touches him goodbye. | |
Steps off the curb and into the street | |
The blood and feathers near her feet | |
Into the ironbound market | |
In the ironbound section near Avenue L | |
Where the Portuguese women come to see what you sell | |
The clouds so low the morning so slow | |
As the wires cut through the sky | |
She stops at the stall | |
Fingers the ring | |
Opens her purse | |
Feels a longing | |
Away from the ironbound border | |
"Fancy poulty parts sold here. | |
Breasts and thighs and hearts. | |
Backs are cheap and wings are nearly free. | |
Nearly free" |
