PAINTED LADY.
  
Perfumed,
Painted,
Lady,
Coloured,
Against the night,
With  Dragons ‘n‘ Faces
I say,
Where have you been?
 
Perfumed,
Painted, 
Lady,
In lengthening shadows,
Dark.
Hidden now by the Crescent moon ,
That shines,
 
 
Perfumed,
Painted,
Lady,
Showing Favours,
To street Cars,
Named desire, 
Haunted now by the Vixen’s scream,
High,
In front of the Dawn,
Where there is no Morning.
