SKIN

Today I did something for my skin. Hyaluronic acid. That may sound awful, but it feels good. No more dryness. When you talk about thirsty skin, my skin really drank it up, in a way that drinking a glass of clear, cool water can elude me. I have been so thirsty for so long.

When I first started writing this, I wrote:

I think I’ve despised my skin for more than five centuries.

Mama of three. To one, a wife. Ambiguous grief. That’s my life. (Among other things concerning brains). “Words are all I have,” goes the song and I go too.
