In the ironbound section near Avenue L
Where the Portuguese women
Come to see what you sell
The clouds so low the morning so slow
As the wires cut through the sky

The beams and bridges
Cut the light on the ground
Into little triangles and the rails run round
Through the rust and the heat
The light and sweet coffee color of her skin

Bound up in wire and fate
Watching her walk him up to the gate
In front of the ironbound school yard

Kids will grow like weeds on a fence
She says they look
For the light they try to make sense
They come up through the cracks

Like grass on the tracks
She touches him goodbye

Steps off the curb and into the street
The blood and feathers near her feet
Into the ironbound market

In the ironbound section near Avenue L
Where the Portuguese women
Come to see what you sell
The clouds so low the morning so slow
As the wires cut through the sky

She stops at the stall
Fingers the ring
Opens her purse
Feels a longing
Away from the ironbound border

Fancy poulty parts sold here
Breasts and thighs and hearts

Backs are cheap and wings are nearly free
Fancy poulty parts sold here
Breasts and thighs and hearts
Backs are cheap and wings are nearly free
Nearly free
Nearly free
Nearly free
