Xanax



You gather

in ringlets.

The teen in

the falafel truck sees

the coil

of your tattoo.

Your spine seduces

like rain

you show him

your muscle

your beautiful mountains

you shine

calcium teeth.

The teen

in the falafel truck,

you think,

is a teen who

has seen women by

the pool.

You walk toward

him

in new sun

you ask

why he is

late.

With your face open

you ask

about flavors.

The teen

in the falafel truck

is silent.

You sing

to him.
