WATER STORIES

the city reflects back at her
and she reflects at it
from her ninth story iPhone p.o.v.

she will post this on
her social media accounts
and tag me in it, 
because she knows I love
the city and pretty things.

her hair is braided,
now more blonde than brown,
which does something for my eyes.

she is a bridge
to something better,
carrying me, a motorcycle
and a dog called Dylan
somewhere just as beautiful.

to start over is to die 
and save the past from catching fire, she says. 
she is right now and right.
