Song by Lenrie Peters

Clawed green-eyed

Feline of night

Palsy-breasted

Selling old boot

On wet pavement

In hour-glass baskets

Coconut bellied

Unyielding copra

Gland exhausted

Love fatigued

Worm-tunnelled sod

Prostituted fruit of Eve

Edging the Park trees

Like dancing Caterpillars

In folded leaves

Softened by Social Conscience

Hounded by Prudes

Friend of the falling star

Victim of the lonely bed.
