Saoirse Killion ’21

Misty

i’m floating above even stardust— where our fingers first brushed, our young hands intertwining like rose vines,

the blossoms budding at our fingertips. you lulled me to sleep with a floral lullaby. my heart slowly fell for the melodies stemming from your soul.

i’m sinking. it’s sad and beautiful here, opalescent and moon-flowered under neon lights how can a first kiss be good-bye?

i liked you, you whispered. you can’t imagine how it stung. i’m lost in my misty mind, and i fear i’ve lost you too.
