A dancer was arrested one night
For stringing leopard skins across
The windowsills of houses whose
Inhabitants were all court officials
The bones however were left for the judge, that next morning displayed in the shape of his wife, leaning over the kitchen sink cleaning dishes for the breakfast he never again would let her prepare, the meat was left for the jury to taste and decide if it was all worth it.
