73 PESOS

the steamy heat
kept customers off the street
but Rosa sat by her shuttered shack
as curlicues of smoke sat stagnant in the air
men weren't there
she really didn't care
just one, that's all it'd take
so she waited with sweat between her legs
dry dirt whirls at her feet
as a car comes to a stop
she licks her lips and gets up
they want directions to L'umbre
the sun is down
she waits with beer in hand
and a cheap floral fan
waiting to earn some peso
the sky opened up
so she went in her house
rain falling on tin was so loud
she barely heard the knock
she jumped up
whipping her skirt playfully like a matadore
their sweat combined to be one
73 pesos by the nightstand
with beer, cigarettes and a cheap floral fan
she went out again when the sun came up
