reeking of sex, whiskey,
and cheap perfume…
just a kid, really;
somebody’s daughter…
lost in a maze of crack,
and violent retribution…
bruises on her face,
her arms, and her heart…
no way to go back,
nothing to go back to…
around the world, or
just a little head…either way,
she gotta pay the man,
gotta feed her need…
and somewhere there’s
an empty room, in an empty
house, on a forgotten street…
a child dead, but not buried!
