strays
girls with mashed noses
no elegance of the fawn
in these grease stained t-shirts
sleeves rolled up
revealing bruises, whose origins
remain unkempt
no bras to fill
with an echo of youth
the raw tongue of the nipple
desperate for shelter from the magnetic eyes
from the notations of the lustful
that wander the streets
bleached hair in oily strands
slung back to wherever it hangs
and the hungry eyes
garnished with a dab of mascara;
remains form a better day
they write
a sullen song
a hint of truth
an executed murmur
behind the shuttered curtains
somewhere beyond the blue;
the stained glass of the sea
