Streetside Prostitute


Done for Carpe Diem Special #196 Hamish Gunn's 2nd "on the street corner"



caught in my headlight
the street prostitute lifts
her middle finger

full moon
throwing the prostitute
out of the dark

full moon
the street harlot hides
behind her makeup

inspired by:

the prostitute
on the street corner
never looks at the stars

the lonely prostitute
makes dolls
for the street children

for a while

the prostitute blows bubbles
a little girl again
