Learn to swim II

[alinezaline-blog]

this week has felt like a college, just a mash of a dozen things. i’ve never been one to just dive in.

water, smiles. (poem by z.a.)

From the top of the lifegaurd stand the world is

Pink skies and tan boys, is the

Water, smiles.

She sits next to me, my best friend. Fifteen.

Ice cream melts in friendship bracelets

Down our wrists.

“Did you know they say you can see

The Milky Way here? It’s, like, the only place

Left in the country.”

Soft. “Who’s they?” Beat. “My dad, I guess.”

I wipe my hand on the new sweatshirt.

Sticky. She considers this, watching the boys

Dive into the water a last time.

Dripping. “I wonder why.”

Fragments. “Light pollution.”

We speak in driftwood moments.

They strike empty pits in our stomachs

Like the last texts of the night.

Together. Not so.

Alone. “We have to be back.”

Down. “Almost dark anyway.”

The ghost crabs scatter at our ankles

In cell phone light.

Tomorrow will be better.

Tomorrow we will see the Milky Way before

Sunrise.

today i am loving fiddle leaf figs. recognized one in the grocery store and it made my dad laugh. “how did you know that’s what it was?” it’s a love affair. bought the one in the store, of course.

more music... shocker. like this song a lot. 

[alinezaline-blog]

an old thought in my phone

i love lone trees in the middle of watered fields, like a place where lovers might meet or siblings might hide. this one tree that no one ever had the heart to cut down, though the stalks won’t grow so high in the shade. there are a few that i remember specifically. i will miss them in the city. i never had my romance beneath a great tree, but i drew towards them with friends, for picnics and naps between classes. trees that you can’t wrap your arms around but you wish you could. trees that almost try to hug you back.

Made me feel thrown out of orbit today. that’s good sometimes.

the love interest of your early ‘70s sitcom just broke your heart. listen and sob if you must.

song of the day. jump around the room and maybe cry. maybe just shout.

wherever i live in that big someday, i need it to have that checkerboard tile in the kitchen, the black and white, the harsh, never quite clean. i want to lay on it and remember the kitchens of all of my friends, bella’s, where we slept in the morning until we had to leave for school, where i sat while she brushed her teeth. not my old kitchen, harsh light and dark in the morning, too clean, can’t touch anything. mom would never let me lay on the floor.
