Cool use of imagery. It’s neat how thoughtfully your poem breaks down the situation. I liked this description a lot:

“But I was still drawing hearts on my face, pairing every summer dress I wore

with combat boots and poems about death.”

Thank you! I think when you’re looking back on situations it gives you a vivid scope of events. So, it’s easier for me to be detailed with memory at times.

- I’m glad you liked that line, my goal was to describe youthfulness.
