“I dare you
Tell me apart from other girls
Nothing aches in here
It’s a quiet, calculated shame.”
More from Morgan Parker
“I am not loved the way I want to be.”
“& O! When I say less I mean as in classically beautiful, flaws spilling out of my mouth…”
“Things don’t fall apart, they find new homes.”
“O! Vessel of womanhood I am loosed upon the world with dust and filed nails.”
