Roof Tiles Kill.

(Central America .. Hurricane Mitch .. two years after)

Roof tiles kill
      they say
      who sit on their science
      of them
      who sit with heavy delicacy
      on sparse boards above our heads
kept by earth's gravity
and the friction in their rows
      but nothing else
      to retard their dance
      to the beat underground
      trembling the sound
      calling them down
to the soil from which they rose.

Roof Tiles Kill.
