astride the pale horse
into the devasted inner sanctum of the mind-less city

and a dollar for the primal opening"
she smiled...her broken teeth glistening obscurely in the obsenity

the one eyed one legged child crawled on and into the alley
begging the garbage cans to yield him some food
the refuse was swirling around the feet
of all the refugees
the pale horse moved on
the rider had no choice but to go along
