The way you talked about rain..

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.

Very eloquent

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

There

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

The rain seems to be

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.

An impact image

Strong writing:

"of her recent lover. And

the whore whispers, ?Does rain scream

before it dies?? "

Strong...

...from start to finish. There is not one word here whose presence can even be questioned. This is terrific!
