Blaring alarm at 5 AM.
Jumps out of bed to work
The dirty work left to her
Hauling hay before school.
Changes into a little black dress.
Eyeliner to cover her exhaustion
A pretty little teacup
With abs of steel.
Arrives a bit late to class
Gets looks of wonder
‘Who is that fragile angel
With the wary cat-eye’
Day of listless boredom
Rushes home to her friends
Smearing the makeup
More unseen work to do
Finally it is done
She tacks up
She rides out
A curfew for when the stars come
Thunder echos around the valley
sandstorm rises from the center of the earth.
A tornado.
Within it, an even bigger storm atop a mighty steed.
Mud covering her body.
Cowgirl’s glitter.
