Standing at the corner walls
In lurid dress your finger curls
To beckon febrile marks inside
As every blackened flower unfurls
Salome avert your eyes
Hand dealt and frankly played
With sweat and skin in that green light
Ambitions and morals then mislaid
With dark rimmed eyes you stalk the night
Your service to perform
With a basket of lies to choke the cold
And keep your children warm.
