if you'll tell me where my sovereignty lies

overnights at the famous designer's house, her closets full of small silk dresses, lace and long necklaces. products in the bathroom with labels in french, in german, greek. i feel an impostor here with my dirty hands and my scarred thighs. eating her licorice in the middle of the night. 


she has a skinny mirror and in it i look fat.


the dogs are kind and snuffly and asleep already on the silk sheets. i cannot join them until i deserve that sort of comfort. i cannot join them until i know where i fit in. 


not in this world. but if not in this, than which?
