Faux pas and Hurricances
Pressed lips on starched collars
Standing on the
tips of toes just to look in you
We said our black and brown kids
Too many times sorry
Straight faces and crooked grins
The gust
left us bored
You told me it was a light wind
Backs pressed against bed frames
The storm weathered me
Our flesh spun into fabric
Organic cottons and your
knees pressed against my bows
Dragged down a runway
And not stitch strung
