Aunts

Blonde girls crying
Their fourth time in st Pete’s
They had to stop last week
The pastor was dying

I don’t know the ocean
And she doesn’t know me
Surely she remembers more
But I’m a mountains and trees girl
Patience is key

Written on the balcony of the condo we rented for the week

The Last

So as long as you're happy...
Don't worry about me.
I'll figure it out,
I always do.

Blind(s)

She always is sure to close the blinds,
As the view is far too beautiful
for her to sleep with it there.

Tackle

Treble hook,
Trap my mouth,
Take me out of air.
Discard what you don’t like
There’s truly none to share

Written based on seeing a fisherman catch a trout using a treble hook, which pierced its top and bottom lips, holding the fishes mouth shut and impossible to remove without blood.

The Balcony

Tuck it in your waistband
Use her charger
Now the tops full of sand
Clogged, pull harder

Stash is dry
but that’s ok
Grandma will give you one of hers anyway
Hold it under your tongue
Don’t let momma smell your breath
They only approve cause it prevents my death

Day Trip

How numb
Can your toes be?
That the horseshoe *****
Who don’t even have the means,
Can pinch your skin and make you scream?

Wrote this one after a beach day
