The hunger for love

avatar

In the wet heat of evening, the sun
an orange eye in the slow wind, the

children pale as dust, trudging from
their minute wars, the men dark as

pain, bent iron, crooked with rust,
clambering from the hovels of

salaried exhaustion, & the women
empty without & within with waiting

their sole companion, the laziness
of eye shadows & lipstick gloss long

since cracked in the charcoal sink,
fired pot, the constant straddling

on her back, the city walks into
itself, agonised, sadder than an old

ship with leaking keel, hungry for
anything similar to love even if it

is ordinary animal lust.
