Packing Freshmen Year

The year I turned 19,

I said goodbye to no one.

When I forced my dirty clothes into cardboard boxes

that reached my waist,

I tried to lock up

each interaction and forget

who had touched me on my futon.

I closed my eyes and tried to

step back, into the hollows of earth

where I had walked before so I

did not disturb my surroundings.

I released my fists and

burst into a dandelion seed,

blowing around

past them.

too hip to quit.

I'm a 21 year old college student who is living in the state of Iowa.
I am currently using this site to explore my creative writing while occasionally re-blogging sources of inspiration.
