I have read this a few times now, each time it has come across with flying colours.
I really do like the imagery involved.
"Five long blocks of countless cracks
and somewhere along the way
the houses got bigger, fatter
with pillared porches, guarded
by lions or giant stone pots,
overflowing with store-bought geraniums."
This part in particular is very nice indeed, except for the last word. In my eyes it is a little jarring and 'out of beat'. I can't really tell you much more, as that is limit of my critique.
Thank you.
