I use a tote bag with two pounds of onions in it as a pillow. Lying down in the grass I stare up at the light blue sky. Sure I’ll get a sunburn this way but I don’t mind. I’ve been so long locked up by the cold that the radiation feels like a kiss. Burn me to nothing. Allow my ashes to blow about the earth. I’m ready.
And I need all the reasons I can find not to hate myself. But it’s hard. Even the idea makes me shiver. Because I see loving myself like looking down on others. Riding around on a high horse. And I never want to think I’m better then the people I see on the street. The ones who have it rough. The ones who don’t fit in. The ones I see my own face in.
