I Remembered Us Dancing

Two young women in a parking lot, and we believed we were unstoppable.

We caught the moon and stars and clutched them in our closed fists.

Nothing made better brass knuckles than our favorite constellations.

We forgot to look down at our feet when strangers got too close.

We showed them stars in sharp no’s dressed in bright red lipstick and steel toe boots.

Instead, we drew chalk outlines around their failed pick up lines and raunchy insults.

They scattered into the clogged gutters and promised they would return with razor teeth.

Two young women raised with stories about wolves and witches, and we knew curses.

We learned witchcraft in our names and whispered them over and over building strength.
