Running When Will My Body Change

EVER SINCE


Back from a girl singing in the orange
from hunger holds heavy
Americas Boat
from a cross carved with brown skin from beauty incorruptible


iceberg and marble from the pyramid
empire
tombstone from the prophet
census in the desert sand

howling back in the branches of trees
or paradise lost in a gluttony of apples

back from a night and a dawn scaffold

from cradle feet and fugitives

waiting hands to lift me back
in the middle of the street and scream

that some other


war defame us some other


fools we moisten the lips with words
parimos children
calenders landscapes and pray in the light of broom

some other silly

many prefer


love to slaughter
famines kill us shame.
