“I used up my brave when I was young–

confessed my feelings to boys who

opened their mouths and laughed

their paper hearts in

and out of existence.

 

I could call this body of mine

magic, but

really, it’s all

talk.

Legend.

Old wives tale.

 

You know, they say the full moon

brings out the wilderness

in everybody.

Maybe they

were just looking

for somebody to howl to.”
