UMPTEENTH BECOMING


i miss those days just yesterday when I would pile my hair 

those days when i would stuff wet wild petals into my jacket, 

listen to experts explain survival, take photos of the gen z graffiti 

the beach house was an autonomous zone, the playground a crumbling 

dynasty. the man played drum on the dock  to the ghosts in the taped off

bathroom behind him. i miss my arms in the generous light learning to move,

the melted candles in my backpack, the bed sheet covered in horses, 

the tarot full of grass and sand, the jars of diluted experiment that i’d

wrap so gently in a sweatshirt hood before setting out into the known

unknown to float above the roots and worms

below the city moon.
