antonio presented a fish dinner inside his housewe sucked the bones and licked our fingers
it rained there was noise on the tin held by bricks
they thought they were poor
the teenagers didn't want to move into the empty house below
why, i asked
what, they said, and leave home?
they weren't poor
not even close
just look at that mountain across the way
a day's walk
and time to do it
they would all live a long time
they would never lack frontiers,
the one thing i lost long long ago
and all the money in the world
can't buy it back
