Second Draft Poem: Kentucky Heartbreak Shuffle

Happiness 
is a bag 
too heavy for 
my bird bones, 
and every love letter 
you have written 
is folded in the 
back pocket 
of every pair of 
jeans I wear. 
I am 
bathing suit daydreams 
and nightmare moons. 
It is always 
and never 
the right time. 
I plucked the 
secret of your love 
from a daisy, 
but the bridge 
I meant to burn 
is brick.
