“your kiss”<br />
the sweetest poem<br />
you ever gave to me was<br />
stated without words<br />
—Adrienne N. Wartts<br />
WHAT WOULD BUFFY DO?<br />
She wasn’t the first<br />
to be the slayer<br />
but she always<br />
felt like the last.<br />
Who knew I<br />
would relate to<br />
a blonde former<br />
cheerleader who<br />
hunted vampires?<br />
Perhaps it was her<br />
reluctant acceptance<br />
of her destiny, of<br />
her power, of her<br />
eventual embrace<br />
of everything she<br />
was supposed<br />
to destroy or was it<br />
how the dark needed<br />
her. That she spent<br />
seven seasons, spanned<br />
two networks, one<br />
virtually unrelated<br />
movie kicking past<br />
commercial breaks<br />
and coming soon<br />
trailers to save<br />
the world, one<br />
hour at a time.<br />
—Jessie Carty<br />
