SARA MARTIN

we’ve made a new friend,
her name is hook,
she is filling up your face
and making my hair grow longer

god didn’t say we should love slow, so i don’t know why you think it
i don’t know if he even knew what it was like to be on the edge, of a track field,
and wanting to run so bad
in his new, new, new, soft, sneakers

you and i have a new friend,
she follows me home,
and tells me all about the dynamics of water

everything is wavey, she says
every wave is love every bit of love is a wave
every wave is better than the one before
