Photograph: Baby called Sultan, singer called Chita
November 3, 2009
Two generations dance in the center
Lime cloth floor covers soiled ground
Young, dark
Girl gypsy taps her hip, wrapped in yellow, lightly to air
Old stained Chita takes up her foot
A soft movement she knows well
Behind underneath a tapestry of the last untainted supper
Sultan attempts the same spinning
An adolescent lower in focus stuffed safely in a sweater
Leans against cardboard walls
The weak foundation of strong life of wander
Another brother pays no attention
Mimics them
Ignoring the outside world
