a lot of my life
has been realizing that i would
cross oceans
for people who wouldn't
jump puddles for me

"I babysat this six year old, and I was wearing shorts today..
and my scars were showing, I guess. He poked them and he said, "I know how those got there." I replied, "How?" He looked at me with a straight face and he said, 'I've seen them before. My big sister had them, and she said mean people put them on your body when they weren't nice to you, because when people are mean to you, you end up being mean to yourself. My big sister went away. I don't know where she went. Mommy said she's on a happy vacation somewhere, because she was too sad here. I miss her. Don't go on a vacation, please.'"

Shoutout to the kid that whispers
the answer
to you when the teacher calls on you but you weren’t paying attention
-
You had a kindness
like shark teeth,
shed a thousand times
over, lost to fossilize along
the unpredictable sea of what
was your promised best intentions.
Underneath more
kept growing, razor sharp
forget me nots along a
misleading mouth —
unhinged and unpredictable,
capable of such beauty but
only being known for its destruction.
And some days I still find
your teeth in my skin,
I string them together to wear
like war decorations,
a reminder of the time I
meant to fall in love but
went to battle instead.
—Lucy Quin
