Vassar Student Review

Fearless*

By Tatum Phillips

The woman you lost, 

who will always be dark-haired

is impossible not to want. 

I’m forever a child looking 

out my window at the night sky.

Don’t you wonder sometimes? 

I’ll tell you everything. 

I won’t change. 

The old man said the woman must 

obey the law. 

The meaning of becoming a 

historical subject. 

But I’ll touch the world 

with bare hands. 

Even if it burns.
