I set out for paradise.
I missed the top step
and tumbled downward.
Knees break into lilac blossom.
There are places I can’t go
without you.
To stomach this, I must
lie face down on the hardwood.
Every girl wants to be loved
that way. You & him walking
next to the frozen ocean.
I’m trying to forget
the sound of the ice
when I walked out on it
to wave back at him.
