what to wear when…wrapped in words. fabric is her ink, her skin is stained with the smudges of old drafts. her body is a piece of text to be fallibly and furiously made and remade. a devotchka is a disguise is a discourse. the curve of a collar, the placement of lace - this is the only vocabulary she has with which to tell her story because her true self is a dead language that tongues trip over and mispronounce. she is both the author and the embodiment of her story, a tangible challenge or perhaps a plea for some cunning linguist to translate it correctly. metatexual becomes sexual and she’s a girl with commas in all the right places (requested by starksandrecreation).

Let’s talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs;
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth,
For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison’d by their wives; some sleeping kill’d;
All murder’d for within the hollow crown.
“Say it, Amelia. Say it is true, that life is worth all the dying we do. Oh Amelia.”
Amelia - Matthew Perryman Jones
