Railroad Ave

it,s loose cotton electric ***

copper children

husky sighing t

he

trickle of daughters into the little wet cracks

on Railroad ave. a beggars hand gesticulating empty spans

a river of grins course toward amber

oblivion and jarring rhythms. she's a white idea. a lemon dress *****

 

her hips are a delicious war of curving apparitions

a dearth of pleasure loaded folds. or else a caustic laceration;

 

some hernia of capillaries blotting ivory thighs

a

n

d all the children giggle, teeth cleaning pearly cheeks

splay the efforts of their throats all over the cobbles. it,s a night

 

FRIDAY
