College Skin

life is a handful


two, if you’re of luck


one hundred winters


give or take a tree.





i miss college skin


—


i miss my college skin


wrists and risks


nineteen years of


music


wrapped 'round the


lake


night runs in the rain


lime green beats


left, right


left, right


never felt pain


sealed my sorrow somehow





i miss my collagen.


all the


music unaccounted for


remembering all the ways


you used to


remember


dismembering the days





I miss my collagen.


I miss my college skin.
