College Skin

Naked Poetry with Adèle Elysée

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.

——————————

life is a handful

two, if you’re of luck

one hundred winters

give or take a tree.
