strap
raze
i
wrap
this
two
-faced
loop
of
leather
around
my
waist
every
day
.
when
i
first
trusted
it
to
keep
my
pants
from
falling
down
around
my
ankles
,
the
buckle's
one
long
tooth
sat
in
the
first
hole
on
the
lead
.
i'm
down
to
the
last
one
now
.
if
i
shrink
any
more
, there'll
be
nothing
left
of
me
.
the
skin
of
the
thing
is
cracked
in
more
places
than
i
can
count
.
but
it
will
not
break
.
