The Web Poetry Corner - Thomas Michael McDade - Hispanic, 5 Feet 7 Inches Tall

Hispanic, 5 Feet 7 Inches Tall

by

Thomas Michael McDade

Razor wire
rimming chain link fences
is the grinning revenge
of a billion barbs
that kids,
thieves and adults
testing time
have scaled like stings
of rusty December stars.
But under a moon
that's a last ditch smile,
a man, late thirties
with no identifying papers
can make a fence
hopping name for himself
or be called
just homeless,
hair curley and black.
Arm and wrists slashed.
