Soaked

a woman child
with tear streaked cheeks
she struggles with
her many leaks
the attic, basement, ceilings too
she doesn't know just what to do
or how, or when,
or even if
her better choice is being stiff
beside herself her tears still fall
with buckets few to catch them all
she soaks the floor
she soaks her seat
and could she stand
she'd soak her feet
her only wish
with sopping eyes
is that the sun
will drying, rise.
