Curious Savages

Sarah Lucille Marchant

1.

And it was the last night I could kiss Emily’s cheek,
the last we could put our fists in, recite our elements,

as she shuffled in, glanced around,
and mischievously switched off the lights.

2.

Standing, circled in the spotlight,
Travis serenading the lot of us and

a Christmas package placed on the piano,
I breathed, simultaneously whole and empty.

3.

People are only interesting, only have that
spark until you get to know them.

When you become familiar, I
have to fight the impulse to run.
