We Open on a Field

Michaela Brown

We open on a weed-ridden lawn. We open on a hotel room in Paris. He looks like he is going to kiss her, but doesn’t. We open underwater. We open on five girls lying in the driveway. We open at curtain call. We open on a family in their kitchen, wiping down their groceries. We open on a road trip to nowhere. We open on two lovers in a sand box, breaking each other’s hearts. We open on a writer. She thinks she can start over. We open on a Spanish pueblo. We open on top of a rollercoaster. We open on our newest year. We open on a field at sunrise. There is only a horse.
