Catherine (with a “C”)

catherine has never met a coward that she was too afraid to love / and when
she says “love,” she means lose / and when she says “lose,” she means
misplaced, open-mouth / chewed up penalties / places bets on boundaries /
everywhere, she spins / falls for fresh-faced fables / is less-than-able / to
fall into your lap / call it difference / coincidence / confounded every time
