The Great Wall

Of concrete. Of scraped kissed knuckles

There again

infinitesimal ***** of flesh.

The bud, wrapped in a linen of ash.

Giving light, then withholding.

Like a mother’s feed, “pero cuidado de las chichis muy wanga”

Solo slabbing concrete

Without the creaks in the pavement

the city cannot breathe.
