that morning we rode our bikes
past the convenience store, past the post office
all around the town and back

My hair stuck to my forehead underneath my helmet
I wondered if my legs could keep going
But I didn't want to lose you to the summer sunset
A squirrel darted into the road
And you swerved onto the pavement
Skin over road, rocks and speckled blood
I laughed and cried
You pushed me over
We went home earlier that night than the others
I didn't mind,
because you texted me all night
