Through Their Lives

tiny kids wear only shirts
green snot drips from noses
the stench of the pig in his pen, squealing,
pressing his snout through the window grate,
long teeth bared.
In the mornings, a dirty curtain covers his barred window.

The smell of piss.
Gardens of greens.
Women naked but for shawls wrapped round their bodies,
washing  hair by the gutter, at the spigot.
The chickens in the garbage. Cow patties.

A rooster mounts a chicken.
