Hill Station

12

A woman sorts old
newspapers, slings
pails of pig slop
from compost.

Along the road 
that winds upward
to the bus station,
a cascade of hand-
lettered signs—

dentist, eye
doctor, fortune
teller, bootblack;
photo studio,
umbrella repairs,
scissors grinder.

Through any
of these doors,
find La Suerte.
