On Nightclub Women

October Saintliness

Cry, forsooth! and cry to synthesize

         Sorrow of aracara birds

                   Winging their names through

                             Fashion on 4th

         Red chiffon clings to ghostly thighs

                  Tall Dancing,

                             Bouncing on the three

fiery teeth flashing exuberantly

         of sophisticated drugs

                   Painfulness in the scarlett

I am not like these women,

                   But saintly,

                             small.
