maybe it was the bright orange paint
maybe it was pixies in rhinestone bindis
toes painted aqua and seafoam green

maybe it was that mix tape

maybe it was the afternoon
we were
dancing
smoking
painting
laughing
on your deck

maybe it was the wings

maybe it was because you called
me a little vixen

maybe it was the moon
maybe it was the skinny dipping

maybe it was the photograph

maybe it was the fresh tomato and basil
toast
she made me
when i was famished

maybe it was the
red shoes
5 inches
with tiny leather flowers
on the ankles

maybe it was the death
of the sad girl

maybe its because
i stopped apologizing

or maybe life just
gets better and better

the less i give a fuck
