Leather

Leather

A Poem by Emmy J.M. Powell

My skin is leather,
I can't remember the last time I cried

I used to whine,
over the smallest of things

But I do not miss,
my childhood dog anymore

I do not miss,
my old friends

I do not miss,
watching you die

Your cold hands,
hardened me

I can still hear,
your death rattles

I have intangible calluses,
all over my insides

Nothing has hurt,
for a long time

My skin is leather,
I can't remember the last time I cried
