* help on this one is welcome, especially for line 16 and 22
Silvery rattle of chain link fence shudders,
surrounding corner court crackling,
awake the souls from early antics
buried in bundle of arm hair leg
and squirm they radiantly like black sun.
The record spins abandoned,
old king frets; crystal bottles and tabs
on cinder block tables-
head slightly tilted to the left
through curtains of smoke,
he makes her laugh, lights another cigarette.
Sizzling of eggs on stove and
knocks on the wall,
the kids scream louder now-
she slowly understands
outside is calling for more.
//
The day flew painfully and the incessant chattering died
she puts her rings back on,
assuredly,
he smiles.
They stumble freely down the feeble staircase
into the evening’s sad tranquility
