III.II
In early light with snow no longer falling
the roads outside are full of slush and trash
the bins outside the flats are overflowing
while she waits for shops to open for some cash.
Access to the roof is really easy
the flat, unbordered space they call Tar Beach
she climbs up through a skylight old and greasy
the snow before her has a tale to teach.
Footprints tell a tale of desperation,
leading from the hatch in thawing snow
She can't recall the resident there stationed
but in only one direction does it go.
