You are not – you were never – broken. That someone came and bent you at the soft places means that someone found your soft places. I have seen the skin where it’s not broken. I have seen the scar not made. You who cannot reach those parts feel welts where there is only purple. Pretty purple. Now that it’s gone. You were never broken, love. You stretched yourself straight and tall and beautiful and, maybe you didn’t notice, you’ve been walking on.
For Lovely

Check out http://www.chaymagazine.org, a new Pakistani magazine about sex, sexuality, and a discussion of social taboos and consequences of same. Apparently their working on their first issue and are issuing a call for submissions. FYI.
