Entropy

Seabirds startle
Just before plummeting to the ground
Mussels fracture

An officer’s shadow interrupts my periphery
Firmly he grabs my shoulder firmly
He lulls me
It is not tomorrow yet

I notice all the houses are built of brick
Wolves are no longer protected
The natives of this town want
Tranquilidad

They inject my arm with this memory
Time began above a sign that illustrates such
Aside the highway where buses follow ladders and hoses
Eyes of incandescence and crates of chickens strapped in trucks
Box of help is on the way

Fresh from school
On a day from which the wallpaper shone
Preferred tones of green uniform blue and hot hot white
I walk

I pause to fish a pebble from my shoe
I throw rocks
Where a body is
Shells scatter
