rehabilitation and reassessment. i poke and pry at skin tags. i attempt to peel open, peer inside. i’m held firmly by the fat. i relish in the rain and blink back the beating. i temper my heart like chocolate. i let it crystallize and harden. let it cool. i laugh at my muse. i start a new playlist. i walk into a third date with more caution than i did the last. i bubble into buoyancy and wait to surface in his arms.
