José Angel Araguz
The ocean moves
 like cows
my child eyes spied
 nightly at my tia's rancho.
Cows shift
 with the subtlety of
clock hands
 shuffling
another minute.
 My breath
rises in patches,
 the night briefly cow.
I sink hands into
 coat pockets. No matter
how far I reach,
 cold reaches deeper,
burns the coin
 between my fingers.
