Trying to mask
body odour
with some musk
or ittar
trying to compress
wide expanse of
prosperity
into tininess of
austerity
tying pleats
and folds
of silk and muslin
over corpulent
odoriferous meat
plastering
and laying
layers of paint
to cover up
disdain , despair
occasional evil
trying to sweeten
the tongue with
honey and flooze
be careful of booze
that may let loose
gossip and secrets
slandering
and sledging .
