When the boys grew up on sun and waves
The sun didn’t kiss these boys
It hugged them
The way you would with your best friend before
Leaving for a long time
It hugged them and
It made their skin the color of a caramel
And their hair like the sand

Dreamers
and they're all breathless
telling me of the doctors who defied odds and
the athletes who destroyed records and

the 4 p.m. sunset already lighting the shamash on the horizon,
melting the mountains like orange wax.

I went to work the day after they announced it. I stocked the shelves and listened to the radio from the speakers in the warehouse ceilings. Cars were piling up at the exits, trying to get out of town.

The girl who never falls
It's hard
to put yourself out there,
bear, exposed;
it's scary to take off your coat,
remove the mat,
and hang on limb over the edge of a cliff,
