Bounty and Twenty Poems to Read on the Streetcar Senior Thesis ...

So Much Has Been Allowed <strong>to</strong> Me
for Becca
For example, with your body
more broken than I’d ever seen it
<strong>and</strong> half your limbs strapped
in soft cast or gauze, you let me
crawl up your staircase lugging
my tears <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong>ld
me <strong>to</strong> lift you
<strong>to</strong> the far side
of the bed so you
could hold me in your good arm.
