Shoots and Latters

how long could you go without the //
smooth, smooth skin of creamy white legs //
brushing incidentally against //

and [pink /brown] babies
{baby color, apparently, is subject to change}
dreams none the less|shattered when he flees.

her fate lay within her choice of sundress//

[on a Tuesday afternoon in april]
