Poems
Jan 20
when you’re 17
shoveling the snow at 10 tonight,
because your parents aren’t home,
and i guess that’s what you do
when you’re 17.
you turn your back,
feel the sharp betrayal
of a snowball,
barreling from your sister’s hands.
grabbing the sleds,
saying just once.
is that what you do when you’re 17?
or am i still a child?
you walk the neighborhood.
the cold bites, exhilarating.
but the snow feels heavier somehow,
emphasizing the absence
of something you can’t name.
