shame

A deserted breeze hangs and waits

and talks with staggered shapes in the sky

     like a melancholic child,

     held behind

     and forced to face the wall

     as better taught and better-tempered children

     dig for ancient ruins

     just outside;

styrofoam cup

         plastic bag

   banana peel

            A shameless wind

                disturbs these artifacts

                and fills the void

       as a shameless child

                                     desires.
