Poem

A clatter of human hooves
drums on through an after- dawn marketplace…
the wide tunnel of  mouths
reel from the splintered chorus
of jangled tunes bargaining and rattling
papaya, arabica and sushi roll orders: a fiesta 
of succulent aroma whisks mid-air,
talkative faces sampling  potent crops
on weaved baskets , hanging neatly
before slurpy hands condemn
them to boiling pots: the errant
noise loose like gander and hogs.

How much is this and that?
The slithering, crumpled bills drop
their tongues on  purses scraped from
one week’s abominable toil.. oh, darting
fishes jerk their bellies  while the array
of chicken hunks  glaze under lights, frozen
and lumped from farmers’ harvest
rites... morning so luscious with grapes
colored velvet skin,  lettuce tips
pulped by shiny green: and the procession
of lapping mouths reach head tone pitch,
dishes, dishes for salivating tongues,
taste buds for citrusy fruits,  on one delirious
mecca to a market, market day!
