Boy Grows Out Of Girlhood by C.S. Potter

I grow out of girlhood like an animal trying to chow off its own leg, something feral burns in my chest and I learn to love the way that smoke feels in my mouth, I’m not fond of fear but it’s starting to feel like home.

The end of the world starts under your skin like fingers pressing against your pulse, boyhood meant skinning my knees, picking fights and figuring that I could say the words that got stuck in my throat when they called me girl, boyhood meat godhood and I’m feeling holy
