my value doesn’t go down when my weight goes up.

women:

we can

magic

f i r e

out of

a i r.

eat.

fill yourself

with energy,

with sunlight.

treat your body

to tenderness &

lavender.

- we need you here & whole.

“i don’t

wear makeup for others

the same way

i don’t

decorate

my house for others.

this is my

home

&

everything i do

is for

me.”

tell me
something,
would you?
haven’t you
ever wished
you could
dance
in the ashes
of everyone who
ever doubted
your worth
& scoffed at
your words?
(shhh,
it’s okay.
i won’t tell.)

you

told me

i was as

vital

as

that

after-dinner

cigarette

you

could never

have just

one of.

begin to miss meals

ache in the worst ways.

slip from our fingers like a haze of barely-there smoke,

you’ll bleed yourself dry for me one question at a time—no passing. i’ll lick your wounds
