C Poem by tyler eisner

Freshmore from east
Absorbed into the table on the first day
Cunning and intelligence keep C out of the disaster and rise her up
Caution and privacy her shields
The cowardly lion: at least in her mind
The definition of self-confidence: at least in my mind
The deliverer of reality to reputation. Present in me, but now in others
The cold slap – the return of my dreams – feelings remain despite
Our town. Sitting next to each other
After an open hand to show intimacy. Taken surprisingly
And enjoyed more surprisingly still
