For Morale
She stepped out
of a 1950s pin-
up girl poster
She wore different
colored flowers each day
in her tomato-red waves
But her face was drawn
on Not like the posters
painted Now out of print.

- "That's the price tag, no discounts, no bargains. Losing my first love was like living in a perfect house, with the perfect front porch and matching dormers where the key finally worked to let me in, until without enough warning, it caught fire and was gone, leaving a thin coat of ash that would gray my life for years, making me cry when I saw a perfect front porch or a light shining from an upstairs window."- The One & Only Aunt Nancy
