lady on front stoop
poker in half moon fingers
breaks each
single
window
pane
rage flying

charcoal man sittin’ on heels
across street
Panama white as bone
cigar

arrivistes point
sneer
     leave her be  
     lady trying to work out a problem  
     don’ preshate you
     laughin’ at her  

he chuckles  
deep  
I’ll be damned laugh
shakes head
    breakin’ a lady
    like breakin' a mule

she shatters last piece of glass
drops poker
leans on knees  
hair sweated  
cotton skimpy stuck to breast  

charcoal man jaunts to porch  
arm around shoulders  
lady drops weary head  
       ah bébé
       don be couyon
       some more

lady leans
comment je v'as faire
he lifts chin  
kisses cry mouth  
leads her through  
screen door  

flies gather
buzzing comment faites
at broken windows

I keep thinking that when I have the time, I will copy these all in a file on my desktop. A wonderful series, that I do wish I had the ability to do.

This one just makes me sit in silence.  I can feel her pain - and her need.  And, I still like that charcoal man.
