Witchcraft

[on pollution]

I breathe smoke,
sleep in slum
hunt flesh;
over my hideous ribs
play glossy  blossoms 
sprinkling perfume of sweat.

Hey! Handsome!!
I greet you;
Sweat’s sweeter than wine,
Skin thirstier than spine,
Smoke thicker than blood,
Hunting ’s life.

Drive fast swirling smoke;
Come, cuddle and kiss ,
my silky bob!
Who says I’m ugly witch?
Under your glistening arms
I’m the fairest.
