Maudlin

 I have seen her in the square,

gaunt, a mendicant, spare,

begging those with eyes to see

her devotion to her mendacity.

She will call herself a victim

while being a bully in your face--

plying the oldest trade in town

with her soul an empty space.

She's a creature marking off its turf,

pissing in public on the dirty earth.
