real girl / mirror girl
Location
My girl -
Translucent in the sun.
Blue webs
And purple strings that run.
A wave of midnight crowns my head.
My girl -
Dark clouds around the eyes.
Bony
Fingers pulling at the thighs.
They rub together and I start to cringe.
My girl -
A beauty and a fright.
The day
Is well and in the night
I scream because I am two different girls.
My girl -
So discriminating
Of each
And every piece of skin.
To love myself takes every ounce of courage.
