Joseph Ceravolo: The Women

They have the corner

half seated on their thighs,

and long braids tied like drainpipes.

Their hair is a drainpipe

closed from rain.

In the corner of their eyes

is a building of grass.

Their smile cracks

plaster of paris streets.

When they look down

their eyes are orange slices.

They sell little peaches

with brown small rotten dots.

Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): The Women, 1960, from Transmigration Solo (1960-1965), in Collected Poems (2012)

in the Fall of 1960 I lived in the Colonia Ramos Millan, an outskirt of Mexico City. I had never felt as strong a connection between myself and a city. Nothing could move me from there. One day I saw Iztaccihuatl rising from luminous clouds more beautiful than light, and I wanted to climb it. I never did.
