What carries us through
A poem.
A poem.
By
Jennifer Freed
We lie on the driveway, side by side,
聽聽聽 old sheet pulled up
聽聽to our shoulders to fend off the mosquitoes, 聽
聽and look 聽
聽for shooting stars against the August sky.
(I see one 鈥� there! Did you see it?) 聽
Too hot to touch, I feel for your hand,
聽hold a single finger, 聽
聽love you, 聽
聽bigger than the sky, 聽
聽for taking me outside
聽to see.
