Urban Girl Bonds With (excerpt)

 

Lake Erie

It calls her by a name she buried
in its mouth & what a dirty mouth
that speaks of floating
& how much it looks
like death
& how much she knows
about both.

I wanted to die like my father,
a reenactment
of the moment that changed everything.
Wanted a walk in his headline.
To be the reaction un-delayed.
I wanted to tell you in case
I understand still means
anything.
