Poetry, Suze Kay
The West starts where the rain stops
and when I feel a little wild. Ready
for a cliff around the corner, not justÂ
with my boots on, but also in the way
that feels like a knife between my teeth.Â
Come on, World, give it to me. Make it
make me crazy. Drive me to it and jump
the curb, the shark, whatever grows here
and not back home. I’m getting tiredÂ
of seasons. The rain keeps catching up.
