Poem #2,734| When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
From: Onna ga kaidan wo agaru toki
She had re-set sex into
a low commercial trick
by garish underwear &
hour rates [unmet – her
desire to be adored] – a
bed-sore reward in laid
flat places [submission
for an hour’s call – then
back to usual lies] – Her
dishonest work a call &
blamed on her be-gone
past – easy games [paid
in slip of cash wads] – &
one day [in time’s rubs]
she’ll quit her ill-inform
about all that need [her
greed will fall from her]
