Tuesday

Valley Boxing Authority, June 2011

--------------Sisters, the ring girls
smoke tautly in the parking lot.  The man
holding the bucket says, hands up,
--------------Hector.  Get inside.

--------------The welterweight
with the weak stomach and his opponent
circle each other in the brutal absorption
--------------of orbit.

--------------He shifts his weight
minutely, an astronomer
adjusting his telescope,
--------------licks his chipped teeth,

--------------gets inside.
