sleeping with the wolves

Hike up your skirt

shorten your blouse

put on some lipstick

and put on your best smile

he’s coming just for you

with his meaty hands

and his blocks of money

he hikes up from town

to get you something pretty

but everyone knows where he’s headed

to the devil’s den

to do his dirty deed

this brothel saves none

and no stack of green

can save this poor maiden of 18

but she carries her brother’s handicap

and prays the devil might save me.

Daily Prompt: Hike
