ACCUSATORY EYES

dance hall girl
ten dollars a dance
dingy back room
sells soul to pay rent
accusatory eyes stare
back at her through
broken dusty mirror
salvation sought in bottom
of eighty-proof whiskey bottle
sun rises, another work night ends
on her way home she passes
street corner preacher man and lays
a few dollars in his out-stretched hand
