pink dress
zink poe
She did not want to go
Really she didn't
Bought a pretty pink dress
this is what they would remember
The carefully applied nail polish
Those remarking they had
Never seen her so beautiful
I am a princess
She had such a glow that night
She laughed
She ate the avocado dip
She flirted with the boys
and they liked me
And twirled as she danced
Reached up with her hands
As though embracing the sky
And the boys sighed
She never looked so good
So soft
So wanting
The music as sex
Pumping into her
She wishing
Anything to make
her feel right
Nothing did
And no one noticed
When she lifted her legs over the balcony
Brought her tiny hands together
Like a little girl in prayer
Leaned into the wind
And pretended she was flying
For ten minutes
the boys looked for her
