looking for the moon
"1 in 3 teens on the street will be

you’ve always kept your suitcase under the bed
and your baby teeth in the sock drawer. see, you
were saving them — the teeth, i mean — for the
day you finally learned to let go.
escape always tickles the underside of your decisions.
you’re the skinned knees type: bumpy elbows and
gapped teeth, more freckles than your father knows

And I will Always be the Moon
We have gotten so attached to these days and these months,
but a deer doesn't know a Tuesday from a Thursday
