Leather

she rants
anger and pain fills the back out her eyes
tears stream down her face
a break is her mother's demise

5 rambunctious children
she's only 15
what more can her feeble body take?
the pressure is obscene.

horses and elephants
tigers and bears
like packs of hyenas
they trample up the stairs

no tranquilzer darts
no sedetives could help
they dont give a shit
she just needs some help

take it back to our days
she remebers the leather
bustin ass in rain, sleet, snow
like the mail, in any weather.
