Whore Salutation.


she walked
spindly
on china
teacups
staggering down the neon street
blinking nude girls, live shows
and a fifty dollar piece of meat
her skin is blush with frost
yet it makes her all the more lush
to the men/wallets driving by
"c'mon baby give me a try
i'll make you cry louder
than any Bible"
her nipples pronounced, icy thimbles
beneath lacy bra
                      (the japanese know how to spoil a woman)
and short, silk skirt that barely hid her thighs
her apparel of choice
told                      (no lies)
stiletto sleek and
                   lipstick smeared
just as tired as she appeared
worn out and bled dry
and looking for more
a call of duty, mascara astute
these dirty whores
i salute.
