Notes
But this is what makes us girls. This wanting
and drifting.
We ricochet in between like bullets
because we love what hurts us and we hurt who loves us.
We throw caution to the wind, but keep our vital organs
safe in glass jars. We put on brave faces,
but fawn over our wounds and the boys who made them.
And we never learn.
- Kim Visda, “What Makes Us Girls”
