The junkie is the man who
bleeds
and undertakes a trip to Rome
as Dvore-Leah
who enters the estuary
and always for the rest does as he pleases
He is the man who knows
the windy street
where in the portals the connections meet
where whores share dope with whores
and from a-far glows one of many doors
He mixes water
coke and horse
into a tasty li’l brown juice
he puts into his stream of blood
Her stoops
when he feels he is G’d
and gives his last to the blackened poor
the junkie ain’t the man who steals, what’s more
