the loss of a best friend
September 18, 2017
we owned
the back of your mom’s minivan,
the host to roadtrips, off-tune karaoke, and stolen naps.
we owned
the dead-end road you lived on,
home of oversized rollarblades and skinned knees.
we owned
the local pool’s lowdive,
flopping, flipping, falling in icy cold water.
together, we owned all these things,
but you dared
to throw it all away.
