*****
Boy Grows Out Of Girlhood by C.S. Potter

I grow out of girlhood like an animal trying
to chow off its own leg, something feral
burns in my chest and I learn to love
the way that smoke feels in my mouth,
I’m not fond of fear but it’s starting to feel
like home.

The end of the world starts under your skin like
fingers pressing against your pulse, boyhood
meant skinning my knees, picking fights
and figuring that I could say the words
that got stuck in my throat when they called me
girl, boyhood meat godhood
and I’m feeling holy
