THINNER

By Rebecca Seymour



The dress won't zip. Again,

Crestfallen, the mirror stares back.

 

She must be smaller.

 

She grabs flesh.

Pulls it forward. Pulls it away.

She comes apart in her own hands, just a little.

She lifts her hands to her mouth. A taste, tentative. Then more. Chews, swallows. Diminishing herself.
