made me smile. Turning to the meat of it, the exploitation of sex-workers is an immense problem, and doesn't get near enough attention.

Beautifully written as always. Your poetry is moving, yet contains a wonderful rhythm. Hope to read more from you in any format or style.

are so many phrases here I could comment on...but the rain as a " sad warm scream" is perhaps the best.
Rain as tears is cliche' but I didn't feel it here.
That last line...perfect.
This paints a moody gritty street scene and some where in there is hope.
Excellent work
not so much a repesentation as an identity here, an identity in sync with the prostitute. A nice twist on the use of rain. Thanks jd4.

Strong writing:
"of her recent lover. And
the whore whispers, ?Does rain scream
before it dies?? "
...from start to finish. There is not one word here whose presence can even be questioned. This is terrific!
