FISH VENDORS
Market women that weigh smiles and shellfish
overflowing with agony and sand.
Fish vendors in Caribbean stalls
Drenched aprons of young girls
that hazard the flattened and silent innards along the shore.
Lascivious the blue avatar of the scales,
Insidious sequins now destroyed
in an ocean with no pulse.
Fishsellers of the Caribbean,
that with their youthful offering probe
the blue scheme, round and struggling
of an overweighted scale,
with neither adjustment nor gauge.
