the whore house

by jan oskar - Scorpio

The Whore House.



From the blue flacon he sprayed despondent
Perfume of whores unfulfilled dreams.

The morning sadness of sleeping women and sober men dressing to leave.

The agony of their loneliness echoes from tear
Dripping walls and down steps that reek of
The poverty of the damned.

Hours wasted here didn't still their hunger for love, only made it unattainable 

Blank faces in cold morning light.
A new day?
