A Port Kar Paga Slave's Whip Dance
I watched the dancing girl
of Port Kar writhing on the square
of sand between the tables,
under the whips of masters,
in a Paga tavern in Port Kar
It is called the Whip Dance,
the dance the girl upon the sand danced.
She wore a delicate vest
and belt of chains and jewels,
with shimmering metal droplets attached.
And she wore ankle rings,
and linked slave bracelets,
again with shimmering droplets pendent upon them;
and a locked collar, matching.
She danced under ships' lanterns,
hanging from the ceiling of the paga tavern,
it located near the wharves
bounding the great arsenal.
I heard the snapping of the whips, her cries.
