They are human houses

The vultures possess a human face

somewhere in the barrens
of a new jersey night
the corpse of a shanty--
collapsed roof
rotted boards
decorated with tall,
grey tombstones--

carcass pushed back from
crumbles of pavement

sentry faces obscured by yellow eyes
smiling
made of endless stone
carved into human eyes.
