À CHARLES

Whore touches self
on parts infected with
stains of old lovers,
vile caresses…

Moldy lips cleft,
shriveled flesh,
try to smile;
parted thighs repel,
reveal
sadness, sickness, deep inside.

Whore touches self now,
applying youth magic ...
remembering long agos,
drying dimmed holes

In 2003, Le Spleen de Paris became the bowels of New York and northern New Jersey ... and Slice / Life (annoyances, episodes) was scrawled.  Powerfully capturing, a century and a half and an ocean removed, the 'beauty of life in a modern city', Slice / Life was written from the outside looking in (and indeed, through eyes of the poor...).
