A Pole Dancer Poem by U Win Kyi

She danced a pole dance
in front of a noisy audience.
They wolf-whistled when she shook the breast,
when she spread her long legs.
Then a drunkard got wild and bold,
tried to get hold
of her butt
out of raging lust.
He was intervened and stopped,
kicked and karate-chopped.
On her face, she wore a seducing smile.
In her heart she wept a wailing cry.
She must dance
so that her mum had a chance
of being cured of broken femur(thigh bone)
Otherwise she would be crippled.
The hospital bill was very high
almost reaching to the sky.
One night, up and down the pole,
climbing high and low
dancing and whirling,
smiling and singing,
a mistake of turn and twist
caused her to loose the grip
she fell and broke her neck.
She lied in hospital bed,
for the rest of her life
as from neck to toe, she was paralysed.
