The Sex of Money

Susan Musgrave
From:   Things that Keep and Do Not Change. McClelland & Stewart, 1999

You walk into the white field, squat
between rows of frozen cabbages, almost happy
he is gone. You spread the money
all around you on the ground, remembering
how it felt when he put it in your hands.
