Mother Body, by Diamond Forde.

So. many. goodies. An incredible work of poetry through and through.

Fave within: There’s No Praise in Me for Me.
Fave lines from within: “There are truths that are true and truths that are true when I tell them.” / “To do the violence I want and still be loved for it.” / “I admit that I was wild for him so I would finally be worth something.” / “I am too much like my body.”
