Campo Alegre Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Campo Alegre



Campo Alegre re-printed

Under the houses on stilt
That has no sewers
And built for whores
To service sailors in Curacao
A dry barren island
In the Caribbean Sea
Pigs live under the houses
Grew big and ugly
When one is slaughtered
The meat tastes of drunk
Seamen's vomit
And cheap perfume
That hides
The grotesque sex
In the name of need
