she is summer-pink and twinkling
oh, she knows her eyes are sparklers in your cold, evening beach sand
but you can tell her, still
she's moving to astoria, likes to laugh when pictures are being taken
she'll tell them all she just flew in from boston, but her heart-
that's from croatia.

meanwhile Morgan is face flat on Jenna's bedcouch,
Shawn Elise's smell and friendliness from her forty helping him forget
that she didn't want him coming to Martha's Vineyard, afterall.
He leaves her messy messages that she saves and savors
and craves on uninspired nights.
