Can we meet in the desert,
I will stand with a cactus flower clenched
between my teeth and balance en pointe.

There was something about the boy that made me uneasy. Maybe it was the reverse widow's peak on his forehead or the way he wiped away his snot with the back of his hand. It could have been his red flannel shirt that reminded me of the hillbillies from the mountain…

I’m sorry. We couldn’t fix the country
