I was convinced that boys- all loose shoes and leather palms- don't care for fragile girls. The kind that etched lotuses onto weedy waists, lost in the tangle of fine bones and became a brush fire of flowing sentences. Boys want to drive themselves into flesh and wide hips that swing in circles like a pendulum. - See, us fragile girls, we grew thick skin before permanent teeth. Our skin bubbles with the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt. -
