This is the complete poem of beggar children

Beggar ChildrenBy Emmanuel Torres

Wherever they go, skies looking after them

Remain lean ghosts of killer kites.

Even their cloths have the ripholes of kites

Caught raving among high electric branches.

Playgrounds they wander in are condemned

By the fat book of proverbs: games have abandoned them.

They trail the tracks of sparrows slingshot

Would stone down, live, into their dreamless hands.

Shreds of nests, windstruck, straw their hair.

When they speak, plucking the high sleeves of strangers

Beyond reach of sweat crowding their brows,

It is all a hopscotch make-do language.

Reaped from wall of liberal graffiti

(Colorum profiles, amulet signals, pistols

Pointed at hunger shaped like purse of hairy mouth)

Patrolled by the shadow of a carnal cop.

Their eyes, alert, are blacker than shadow

They spill about them and loose in crowded noons.

Catch-as-catch-can is what their fingers learn

From hoops of skinny thorns: thus they survive.

If between the billboard siren and the rainy highway

Their eyes fall on pebbles, their wishes are not

For marbles gleaming with rainbow swirls of heaven

But for hubcaps to take to as far as the next possible town.
