Work hard that’s
all I did before, and then all I did
was drink; I’m boring,
in front of the razor wire
the man who says
no one has ever commented
on his eyes — how so?
they are blue and yellow
irises tumbling
a torrential garden
at Saint-Rémy
to prove it, I took his picture
but the eaves turned them black
but no problem, the man
who fixed doors for thirty years:
perhaps you need the Mexican sun
to see them? — steps out, smiling.
