Lola Haskins:
The Vendor of Hot Chocolate, 5 AM


A stairwell hisses:

Senorita. Senora.

Our heels click on the pavement.

A dark forms around us.

A hand

presents a cup, which breathes.

Barrato, Senorita, says

the voice with claws.

We pull out

coins, lift our steaming drinks.

Death wants us all.
