Another day in the Avenues

A mound of shit sits underneath

a Jacaranda tree with crimson blooms

That flame red beneath the setting sun

The mound of shit sits softly, sprawled

on the hard, stony ground

while a cloud of big, glistening flies hover over it

here and there, taking a quick lick

to the patter of feet, going to and fro. there, the

mound of shit sits at the intersection of sixth 

and central avenue as the sun slowly explodes red

into its solitary confinement behind the horizon

blocked by city buildings. soon, another day

in the Avenues goes dark. and the shit stinks.
