Young, but hardly innocent,
For times are rarely ever so.
"Favors" made to pay the rent,
Became the harlot's status quo.
Past the church of childhood,
Where she had sung the choir's lead,
To 44th and Underwood,
Her newest place of want and need.
Night gives way to day's remorse,
Yet hunger has no prejudice,
Fifty bucks for intercourse;
What chaos could have led to this?
She walks, sometimes, along the walls,
Upon the rooftops, none too low,
And asks herself, were she to fall,
Would anybody even know?
Some things happen all by chance,
Other things are meant to be.
Maybe it was happenstance,
her accidental pregnancy.
She walks, sometimes, along the walls,
Upon the rooftops, tears in eyes,
Careful that she doesn't fall,
And softly singing lullabies.

As This World Winds Down
by David Clure
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
