City Nurtured
My city-nurtured sense could not account
For being barefoot, sans clothes, on the road;
The wind had risen and it seemed to goad
The orange trees and fresh fruit paramount
To cultivated counties; who'd discount
Those nightmares now? I wake, my thoughts are slowed,
To focus back to streams crossed; footprints showed
My path to pursuers, once loathe to mount
Me; tempted to degrade, they simply took
All freedom, then my dignity and clothes,
As they rejoiced - misogynist offence -
Rough, wretched, rural rapine rather shook
Me to the core, amongst those citrus groves:
Fucked as a fugitive; who showed contempt?
For being barefoot, sans clothes, on the road;

To focus back to streams crossed; footprints showed
My path to pursuers, once loathe to mount
Me; tempted to degrade, they simply took
All freedom, then my dignity and clothes,
As they rejoiced - misogynist offence -
Rough, wretched, rural rapine rather shook
Me to the core, amongst those citrus groves:
Fucked as a fugitive; who showed contempt?
