MOLTING JAVIER PEREZ
Men
like fruits
that hang like sandbags
that, when untied,
fall like teardrops
and cover the world
in sandcastles
for Men
to hide emptied fruit rinds in
and play clumsy
when castles fall
by
the high tides
of coming storms
dissolving into quicksand
to keep hiding
fruit rinds in and
spitting seeds into
that sink
deep ,
get watered
by unnatural
rainfalls,
