GIRL IN A CAGE
Here in a cage the dollars come down.
To the click of a tube the dollars tumble.
And out of a mouth the dollars run.
- I finger the dollars,
- Paper and silver,
- Thousands a day.
Some days it's fun
- to finger the dollars.
Some days...
- the dollars keep on
- in a sob or a whisper:
A flame of rose in the hair,
A flame of silk at the throat.56
