Olympic Speedwalker - Savannah Wolden

All we wanted
was to be enveloped, so yes,
I will be the car window, I will
be the pillow over your head,
I will be the paper coffee cup.
Social media is sacred in this
era of non-communication.
I protect you through my phone
and that's all I can do.

For H

Sharp, barbed, and lovely, the poems in Olympic Speedwalker document love and life in your twenties, a time when everything is possible and few things look better than a nice night at home. Wolden takes us inside the friendships that sustain us, the loves that excite us, and the lasting sting of a loss.
