Hated and Loved



(A Sex Worker's Dirge)
In the harsh glare of the day’s light,

Like a leper you shun me,
Like a curse,
Openly you revile me,
Sneering and mocking.
Yet when sunlight fades,
Your secret desires are unleashed,
And you seek me like cool water
In a summer afternoon.
(c) P. Chidavaenzi, 2010.
