Limnophobia<\/h1>\n

By Kelly Alfano<\/p>\n

Fear of Lakes<\/em><\/p>\n

We were thirteen,
\nSkinned knees,
\nAnd cherry stained fingers.
\nShe was strawberry blonde,
\nRipped jeans, and dimples.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d cast by the lake,
\nOn tire swing Tuesday\u2019s,
\nWith piggy bank change
\nShrimp on the end of a hook\u00ac\u00ac.
\nShe\u2019d fight a trout til\u2019 sundown,
\nWhile I fed mosquitos.<\/p>\n

When winter arrived
\nWe drank warm cider,
\nAnd danced on our frosted lake.
\nThe ice cracked,
\nLike her smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
