*by Chelsea Tadeyeske*

someone told me  
you can smell when rain  
is pretending to be weather  
it's a little bit sweet  
  
my thighs make  
a different sound in summer  
this feels important  
  
i swallow gum  
to remember being   
twelve  
  
still waking up  
is the most  
i've told anyone this year

a plant i attempted to save  
is dying politely in my kitchen

there's something noble about damp fabric  
trying to do its job

the spider near my shower  
never builds anything

we understand each other

this is the most adult  
i've ever felt
