And it was quite an impression.
Your energy swept me up,
It has not ended, like Kansas.
But I finally had to let you go.
And when I actually looked nice enough,
You vanished with an
All-too-brief embrace and an unfair rush. .
Prairie gave way to the Rocky Mountains.
I basked in your shadow.
Your lips are imprinted on my cheek,
My tattoo.
You may think of me as a child,
But the smallest person can change
The course of the future.
I was the pebble that probably
Caused your avalanche.
Though, you were dangerous to begin with.
I've got diamonds on the soles of my shoes,
An onyx on one and a ruby on the other, too.
How can I choose between
Two brothers?
Today I am
Carolina
And today I am trying to
Breathe.
