Intercourse

A man with a suitcase meets a woman.
On the right a once-sprayed figure. Across her foot a smudge.
Round and round the circular sound. On and on the rot.
A squashed-flat coke can joins the road.

Children play where they can be seen from hidden windows.
That little girl rushing screams anew.

A blue scratched shape.
A face in black crayon.
An outcome in circumstances.

She stands hunched with arms folded tight and his arm around her shoulder as he stares.
He grasps her hands seesawing to and fro with her laughing shrieks as she must break free.
