In the year of 90210 and Blossom, I had a pair of tween-sized, super light-blue jeans with zippers up the ankles and ending in tiny lace bows, like pinned butterflies, on my lower calves. I hated those jeans, even though I had picked them out myself, and buried them at the back of my dresser drawer. |

cherry petals fall— napping in early sun— drifting asleep home from college— yearbooks prequel to flying, all spring and fall swift scissor kicks— summer heat— |
hiking the canyon— with wide mouths displaced by darkness— stand of aspen— dry leaves bonfire away dear newborn, tumbling snow angels— stock pot full— a quilt’s comfort— • Jennifer Met © 2020 |
