THE LITTLE MATCH - GIRL

She did not trade with matches
1000 but cheap wine
Mr. Andersen
and she would exchange herself for a moan
of Babylon coins

It was not in winter but in summer, sir
not in snow but just round the corner
pale legs in the pale sun
and she got them after God's Creation

Wrapped not in a shall but in mastery
of the local hairdresser
shackled in a corset not with the flame of matches
she tempted
but with her eyebrows' fire

Lady Rogue
a harlot
a regular whore, Mr. Andersen
lonely
