C. Prince
​
Backseat of Her First Car No. 16


Scent notes: the hair you just chopped off.

Her mother's future disappointment. 

The cheap sex toy she cleaned 
with stale bottled water in a church
parking lot after sunset. 

The metallic moan of the first time
 you bled on purpose. 

The saltwater she pressed into your thigh 
like a promise, 

spit out like a prayer to a different god.
