Nemo Dat

She
Smelled of Onion
& Slaughter Houses
Soot & Ash
In Her greasy Hair

Aware
& incensed
Secure
But bearing
Crippling Thoughts
Too Close
For the Good
Of Anyone

She turned the Corner
Passing Pawn Shops, Hawkers & Hustlers
Cutting a Wake of Sheer Humanity

An Explosion
Fit for a Hillside
Fit for a Train
