so i ripe my skin in the sun, tuck in the folds of my stomach like a bed. i imagine our bodies as bedsheets, baring everything. i imagine what kind of girls we might have been: blonde & beaked & dripping our hands into cleaner rivers.

I was raised inside, born in August, which is mostly all right because it decays quickly.

I remember my dress floating thunder beneath me, a thrush's hymn in the mist, I remember boy’s gift to girl: a shot-gun and its silver bullet, is this the heirloom I will pass down generations? is his pride my only mortal joy?
