debbie

The year Debbie got
her period, I would visit
her in her new house
on days she wasn’t
seeing doctors or locked
in her closet or hadn’t
wedged herself tight
between the white wall
and the bunk bed
and we would swim
in her pool, wearing big
t-shirts and soccer shorts,
diving to the bottom to save
her Barbies, who she’d flung
there and who, she said
each time, were drowning.
