I thought the selfie I sent you after I got sent home from the hospital was equal parts funny and sexy actually. With flash on, the staples in my skull looked like jewelry, the watercolor purple and green of my black eye seemed flattering, the plasma still seeping from my skin was sparkling. You said it was horrific but I shouldn’t have expected you to understand the allure. It would be years before you saw the twinkling of your own temporality.
