the winter I was warm enough (to leave you)


When the last curl turned loose across her forehead she felt her inner wrists open up and offered everything she had to the wolf moon. It was January. She knew everything would change once the sun, hung in opposition, would pounce across her pillow.
It had been four years since she woke up feeling alone. She welcomed the emptiness in her chest, the gnawing from behind her ribs. Scrape of her clavicles and she lifts herself, starts a fire, sneaks outside.

She feels lighter already.
