• You were my first impression,
    And it was quite an impression.
    Your energy swept me up,
    It has not ended, like Kansas.
    But I finally had to let you go.
    And when I actually looked nice enough,
    You vanished with an
    All-too-brief embrace and an unfair rush. .

    Prairie     gave way to the Rocky Mountains.

    I basked in your shadow.
    Your lips are imprinted on my cheek,
    My tattoo.
    You may think of me as a child,
    But the smallest person can change
    The course of the future.
    I was the pebble that probably
    Caused your avalanche.
    Though, you were dangerous to begin with.

    I have an onyx on one shoe and a ruby on the other.
    How can I choose between
    Two brothers?

    Today I am
    Carolina
    And today I am trying to
    Breathe.
