Letting the Light In (Last Day of Summer)
Location
Tomorrow is the heaviest word here
It is too large to pronounce
Too solid to swallow without seawater
I have no more room in my mouth for it
I'm stiill learning how to say "junior in high school"
My language refuses to break itself to let a new word
A new world
In
Here I am
Heart pressed against the tide like its pulse matches mine
The sky my only textbook
She flips through colors like pages
We read whole galaxies
And before she sets herself down
She looks me straight in my fear
Says "There is a beauty in moving on."
