   Summary

   I tried to forget
   but you grew roots around my
   ribcage
   and sprouted flowers (just) below
   my collarbones.
   All day I pluck their petals.

   —

   When Rio comes back to town to find Beth pregnant, they both have to figure out how much the past is worth and whether it's all they'll ever have.
