“Turning,” by Mary Lou Buschi (Poetry ’14)

2014 poetry graduate Mary Lou Buschi was recently featured in One Art. Read an excerpt of “Turning” below:

Turning

There is room enough for two
in your bed but I stay off to the side

wanting to pull just one corner
of one blanket over myself.

Instead I reach my arms around you,
pull the blankets in tight,

curled you up as if I was meant to send
you somewhere dangerous.
