raze
i
see
more
sun
now
than
i
have
since
i
was
a
child
. titanium dioxide
kept
the
heat
from
causing
harm
when
it
was
at
its
worst
.
now
the
cold
that's
kicked
what
was
left
of
summer
in
its
cracked
ribs
takes
care
of
that
for
me
.
i
used
to
compare
tans
with
my
stepfather
after
we'd
cooked
ourselves
at
the
beach
.
arm
to
arm
.
i
don't
think
i
ever
came
out
on
top
.
i
wouldn't
want
to
now
.
let
me
stay
white
as
a
sheet
forever
.
let
me
be
as
pale
and
blank
as
the
ghost
my
mind
has
made
me
.
just
let
me
be
.
