climbing the lilac tree
i cut the branches
to put in your hair
behind the bleachers
first kiss
the taste of cafeteria pizza
eyes locked
still
heart racing
the glance of
her eyes—
gentle as a river's sound
top quarter champion
First Third Chamption
bottom quarter champion
laughter into midnight
the space between us
unimportant
swirling party
you grabbed my hand
I only saw you
her lips push against
my puffed up cheek
life isn’t all bad
hot and heavy night
bright morning
she puts on my shirt
TOP half champion
CHAMPION
BOTTOM half champion
he gently places
a bright red rose
in her hair
the touch of her skin
when I turn over
at night
a glitter of gold in your eyes
the color
I dyed my hair when you left
a deep exhale
finally clears enough
to drink life in
top quarter champion
Middle Third champion
bottom quarter champion
window shopping
a wedding dress
turns our cheeks red-hot
wedding bells
everyone waits
cold feet
renamed playlist
should have seen
this one coming
last night here with you
same old songs
just once more
