FRACAS

yellow motivation
remember when we used to hike?
faces in the woods
cramped car
loose hair
behind you
and they’re walking the drums
stitching in time
on tenterhooks
one by one
that night 
i can’t talk with my sandals off
pavement cracked
they’re walking the drums
one by one
oh, that pool that was filled with leaves
took my breath
took it all
