"Call this a love letter, call it Our Story, unlike anyone else’s, but with threads and adornments from the Great Ones—the star-crossed fables, the fairy tales we craved and gobbled down as greedy little beasts in our parents’ arms." ~Jessica Mehta

Call This a Love Letter, Call It Our Story (A Poem)

“Call this a love letter, call it
Our Story,
unlike anyone else’s, but with threads
and adornments from the Great
Ones—the star-crossed fables, the fairy tales”

"I tanned the cancer into my flesh ...shaved my teeth to needles ...filling my mouth with bathroom fixtures, let doctors cut me apart like a hunting prize" ~Jessica Mehta
