Chasing the Carpet

Chasing the Carpet

 

On both her bended

and her

bleeding knees ..

They all

watched her as she

began to

chase the bloody

carpet

round and around ..

And then

around some more ..

Searching

for any tiny speck of

crack dust

hiding somewhere

in the

shag pile and those

creases

on her discarded

petticoat

having been thrown

casually

across a filth strewn

bedroom floor

or wherever else she

thought her

next lick might be found ..
