she inhales sharp
the foliage ***** her in a diver entering the deep
in the pine needles she sees the motions of the universe
she is self conscious about her adam’s apple
she swishes pasta water around in her mouth
google search: how to kiss
how to behave in a relationship
how to cure chapped lips
… she doesn’t know how to be sentimental, only
to take off her shorts and lay still
it’d be nice to take the initiative
she’s not sad as often now:
there is comfort in apathy and burning liquor and the scent of another on the sheets
