Joseph Ceravolo: The Women
They have the corner
half seated on their thighs,
and long braids tied like drainpipes.
Their hair is a drainpipe
closed from rain.
In the corner of their eyes
is a building of grass.
Their smile cracks
plaster of paris streets.
When they look down
their eyes are orange slices.
They sell little peaches
with brown small rotten dots.
Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): The Women, 1960, from Transmigration Solo (1960-1965), in Collected Poems (2012)
in
the Fall of 1960 I lived in the Colonia Ramos Millan, an outskirt of
Mexico City. I had never felt as strong a connection between myself and
a city. Nothing could move me from there. One day I saw Iztaccihuatl
rising from luminous clouds more beautiful than light, and I wanted to
climb it. I never did.

Those brown small rotten dots always get me.
ReplyDeleteThanks once again, Duncan. It's the little peaches with brown small rotten dots get me as well, that concluding moment which turns observation into meaning. Joe's stay in Mexico City was brief, only a couple of months - "Gradually I became homesick, smelling the leaves of the northeast, smelling the autumn that wasn't there". The Colonia where he stayed is a maze of dried up canals and small streets within Iztacalco, one of the 16 boroughs into which the massive teeming world city is now divided. Largely impoverished, working class, then in transition to industrial, in the center-east of the Federal District, and the smallest of the city’s boroughs. The poems he wrote there are the poems of an alert, interested, sensitive, vulnerable, wide-eyed young man from Queens experiencing for the first time the actuality of the world. I think he learned a lot and came away with the sort of attitude adjustment that permitted him thenceforward to leap into his own way of writing. Perhaps I'll put up a few more before it's over, insh'allah.
