Flesh Trade

There she is,

A dark silhouette under the lamp light.

Each night,

A nameless face amidst the crowd.

The men flock,

Searching for their taste of heaven.

Hushed whispers,

A few glances thrown in surreptitiously.

Rustle of clothes,

It’s the backseat or the alley each time.

The men walk on,

Without a look or a backward glance.

While she is left,

Picking up money tossed, tears disguised.

Come nightfall,

And you will see her there yet again.

For her it’s just work, the flesh trade!
