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.
