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 ..
