Except, of course,
in the Baixinha mudflat slum, along
the railroad,
where there is no running water:
there
the gleam contained beneath the night
is not
as it is in the city
water’s fist clenched within the pipes:
it is life’s
fist
clenched within the mud
There it is clear
that night isn’t the same
in every part of the city;
in Baixinha
night doesn’t have
the same stillness
because the lamplight
doesn’t mesmerize
as electricity can
mesmerize:
although time doesn’t flow here either,
neither does it surge: it flickers
it wavers
in a cage of shadows.
