I
dissolve
heaps
into
my
tea
,
trying
to
give
my
body
back
what
it
refuses
to
hold
.
This
futility
costs
a
fortune
and
I
despise
myself
for
falling
victim
to
the
toxic
beauty
narratives
I
try
to
shield
my
daughter
from
.
These
days
my
skin
is
the
work
of
paper
wasps
, masticated cellulose
so
thin
I
could
put
myself
in
an
airmail
envelope
,
send
myself
across
the
ocean
.
I
wait
to
see
what
will
hatch
from
each
sealed
cell
.
