[Jess&Celi]



We
Laughed
The way
We used to
When we were in church
Shoulders shaking
So hard
We could have been
Convulsing.
It felt so good
That our
Bloodshot eyes
Didn’t matter so much
Anymore
And I began to see
Those white teeth
I adored.
I never noticed the day
We weren’t girls anymore
Your hands seem more dignified now
And I no longer wear pink everyday.
There are shadows trailing behind us
Oh but we laughed
So hard our stomach’s hurt
And I instantly remembered
Why
At age five
God places us in the same school yard
And announced you
My best friend.

Twenty one years and counting.
Here’s to us.
Again.
