jade pomeray: 1999

poetry by a sad 90's girl in Brooklyn.
• • •
I found my mother's old poetry book from when she ran away to New York City with her best friend. I decided that it needed to be shared.

I found the pictures he took
of the darkened city
and the purple and orange night sky
From the rooftop
In Brooklyn
1999
Before he became angry
And hit her
And left us
I didn't know what it was
I hung them up
She saw them
She cried
And she told me
"That's when I fell in love."
