You watch ther girl burst into
two, no, three or four silhouettes
in the sweaty dance floor, and
before you ask her about
the necessary details she disappears.
The December road walk alongside.
You throw some leftover quick meat
to a stray dog that barks in delight.
The girl, although you cannot guess,
works as a maid and has only one
Milky way mini dress. Now she sleeps
holding an old pillow and excitement.
The winter night flies away; its shrill call
is as sharp as a pair of glass stilletos.
