| She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle
|
| from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again
|
| She spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a woman who
|
| went blind because she looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes
|
| with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking in high schools
|
| about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with
|
| a pinhole in it
|
| Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever
|
| Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center
|
| We had never met
|
| We were like two hummingbirds who had also never met
|
| And I miss her already
