I think the scariest thing about growing up is watching as everyone’s dreams and aspirations are put to the side in favor of reality

To be sixteen again by Keaton St. James

Prompt courtesy of this list from @nosebleedclub

[poem text: “to be sixteen again” & swimming for whole afternoons through the half-cool lake water & the shining mud, drying my sunburnt body in the shade of the sycamore tree, carving runes into rocks with arrowheads, keeping my hair long & wild. boys

like me understood one truth: that when we coaxed fish hooks out of the soles of our bare feet, we did not weep at the blood. & when our mothers draped us in their summer jewelry, smeared their blush on our cheek-

bones, told us to stay quiet & behave like beautiful young girls, we could not weep then either. but sometimes, as we lay in our sleeping bags looking up at the stars, we let ourselves dream city apartments with windowsills full of plants, kitchen cabinets

stocked with cinnamon canisters & vegetable broths, piles of scuffed shoes by the door, ours & our lover’s. these adult apartments with the space enough to name ourselves anything we wanted, where we could embrace the echoes of the bodies

we were gently leaving behind. /end poem text]
