her lips

a blotted berry red.

I watched her GRWM

as soon as it was posted

butthe completed look

standing here in front of me

does not compare

cannot compare.

Close your mouth, honey,

Mom whispers, nudging me forward.

My feet feel like boats

as I glide toward Lyric

trying to assemble

any kind of language

in my brain.

Lyric beats me to it.

Wow—you look—

That blazer—

You look reallyreally

nice, Juniper.

There is a small tremor

in her voice

like she too is undone

by what she sees.

You as well,

I get out finally.

You look

great.

I want to say:Beautiful.

You look so beautiful.
