Hands: Ten Fingers in a Game of Never Have I Ever by Helen Feibes

$8.00

Jupiter has 79 moons

 

when you enter the ripe age of 17 

and you’re flush with colors like a peach

and grow fuzz you loathe above your upper lip

when your thighs are a little larger than they were last summer

and your stomach has become a pit, rigid and warm

when womanhood has begun to look good on you

everything will start to look like a moon

to you, Jupiter

1. each fingernail is a dense crescent

2. pupils are Callisto, coated in blue hues

5. a clock

18. souls are full moons or new moons, no in-between

79. tummy curves, yours a waning crescent, hers a waxing gibbous

you are 17 now, you are motherless

you can relate anything to a moon, 

doesn’t that make you special?
