saw her lookin for an NA meeting
outside the hospital
she was tellin someone
that she just got outta Carrier
i could barely make her out
wrapped inside the addict
i can't remeber her name
but
i remember when she dated Steve
and
when we ate oxycotin at the diner
the night before i left for Peru
how warm that high was
all through my calves and thighs
and
how her eyes got looser every time
i saw her after that
and
how she started to fade
