When Things Change

Nina Cohen-Perlmutter ’23

when her eyes weren’t as bright, and her arms got paper-thin.

when her hair fell, and she didn’t wear that golden-smile on her face.

when she struggled to get up, and got quiet as a mouse.

i didn’t know her anymore.

this time when they told me i was losing her, i believed them, because i’d forgotten about the bitter strawberries she grew on the side of the house, the walks around langston road and the pier, right before the sun set. she sat in my room until i fell asleep, mini golf on cloudy days, drippy ice cream after, she was perfect to me. when she changed, i was looking at a stranger.

Rage

A fiery pit buried deep within our happiness, Always ready to pull the trigger.

A paper can be crinkled and smoothed out, but the wrinkles will never truly be gone. A waterfall of emotions falls faster and harder than anything else…

Stop vibing to the tune there’s no more time. Hurry, hurry
