Do you remember that guileless girl with the wide eyes
23 and restless for something new
the city was a planet of possibilities
unpredictable and refreshing in so many ways
a welcomed change
she didn’t know then
that the island would devour her and woo her
break her heart
and tether it on a short leash
she didn’t know
Now she sits on her hand-me-down Ikea sofa
In her loft apartment overlooking the filthy, humid street
thinking about June,
And how two and a half months remain
Go slowly, June
Her bucket list is too long
And September looms and lures
