BETRAYAL

cloudless gray-wash sky
fog’s vapor drifts
across empty parking lot
mournful winds scatter
trash along dirty dingy city streets
gleam of moonlight caresses earth
street corner vendor peddles his poison
down dark side alleyway
nineteen year old lost angel, mother of three,
sells what is left of her soul
to feed her babies and pay the rent
her life is over, grace of mercy
has betrayed her
