Laila
CJ Leon

The beautiful Laila is a user of crack.
You may see her on her street:
she is the young princess of Queen;
and you may see her black eyes and sassy lunge
and her skin sorrel mulatto;
and you may see her smile at her own reflection
in the window of a restaurant or shop,
as she turns her cap to the side
and blows herself a kiss;
and she may make you smile,
the way beauty makes smiles,
before she faces you and asks you,
with a honey-tone voice,
if you could help her out,
give her a spare quarter;
and you may think her worth so much,
and give for the act if not of generosity;
and you may see her at another time,
the beautiful Laila she is,
address any ears in the air,
no two particular,
when then she cries
wide-glittery-eyed and terrified
Please! Please, God, would someone just...
for a God-sent death.
