Who?
Lince.
What?
Fell (or jumped) off the balcony.
When?
Yesterday.
Where?
Right outside.
I didn’t
dare ask
why.
Instead,
I let him
cry.
He Told Me Why Anyway
She came home from the bowling alley,
went looking for me.
Found me.
Here, with you.
Heard us inside,
talking, laughing.
Looked in the window,
watched us kissing,
watched my hands,
running all up an’ down you.
When your dad came home,
she waited for me to come outside.
Said she wanted to talk.
But she wanted more than that.
She wanted to erase you
