Para ver

Solíamos manejar por la ciudad

para ver los luces en el invierno

y esperar que pudiéramos

andar una vez más por la calle

y sentarnos

y esperar hasta el sol volviera.

ditches

muddied & sloppied &

full of fresh rain water

now filled with the

dirty flesh of dead

bugs floating in the mud.

And pile in whatever you would like:

More rocks or grasshoppers or

Spit from your swollen throat.

Or gum from your tired teeth

Or loose hairs from your head.

I'll be ditchwading, wondering why

you're spitting in my face

or pouring rocks on my back

or spending time down here

with me in a ditch.
