i. the girl you love is a magic trick. swallowing swords, swallowing fire. sometimes the swords come up dressed in blood. sometimes the swords find homes in her ribs & don’t come up at all.
 
ii. the girl you love is a magic trick. disappears in a swirl of a cloak & erases herself from your sight; vanishing act made easy. sometimes she hides her body so well that she can’t find herself again.
 
iii. the girl you love is a magic trick. slices herself in halves and opens up like a fruit for you to look inside. sometimes the seams don’t line up right & she can’t stitch herself together anymore.
 
iv. we teach our girls to be exhibitions of twisted artwork: be tolerant, be invisible, be this & this & this. if you love her, tell her she doesn’t have to be magic; she can be herself & you’d love her just the same.
