Oaxaca city fragment (Free verse) by poetandknowit

hollow gut women search shit filled gutters for food scraps mongrel pups ready for the razor and half feathered, Johne's infested starving cocks sniffed and pecked past, before being caught and butchered to feed bony yellow babies sickened by birth.

There is a strong contrast to your other poems. I like that effect. Although they too venture into the unseemly realities, this one is particulary dark. 40 words 13 of them harsh. I want to know more. Look to the left, look to the right. Walk down the street, enter. Plus you used my favorite word.
