Initiation

Ronnie was the first:
First love, First lover. 


I was walking the line between
child and woman- 


sixteen, scared
and ready. 


Prove it. 


I did,
in the back of that black ‘57 Chevy. 


I leaped for the other side,
riding the steam of hormonal heat. 


Once the fog cleared
the view was never quite the same.
