City Girl Blues

Fränz Müller

In the heart of New York City

searched a mother for her daughter;

They found her, feeling darkened pity

in the brackish subway water.

 

The black mud caked beneath her nails

her eyes filmed o'er and gray;

Her frame a pose of the agony throes

like gravity had lost its sway.

 

They brought her home and planted her deep

to conceal the ugly slaughter;

and to this day that spot is gray

like the brackish subway water.
