April PAD (Poem-a-Day) Challenge: Day 19 "Her Bra"

I hope you’ve enjoyed the poems I’ve posted so far for the April PAD Challenge. I’m still a couple days behind unfortunately. I’ve enjoyed the experience and feel like the challenge is benefiting my writing by helping me develop better time management habits (obviously still a work in progress) and streeeeeeeetching my mind.

The prompt for Thursday the 19th is “write a life event poem. By life event poem, I mean a poem that takes place at or describes a life event, such as a wedding, birth, death, graduation, etc. There are so many possibilities.”

How ’bout we go back 14 years to an event that seemed so much larger then than it does now?

“Her Bra”

She offered herself to me, but
I felt like a thief that night. Not quite
a professional heist, fumbling key
and setting off the alarm.
She left before my parents were due home,
leaving her bra as a memento. Evidence.
We didn’t speak at school the next day.
