the tiara scene alexandra wears crowns and headbands everyday to cover the bald patches on her head, where she pulls golden strands out of silver skin. she sets the stage in her living room, pulling the curtains off their rods and hanging them off the back of the couch, dressing up in her pink dress, and with a deafening crack, her mother’s heart breaks when she says the words mommy i can be a princess too.
let me level with you you wear brown leather with fringes in all my dreams, complete with moccasins with beads, headbands like a hippie. your face is clear, still, serious like when you stare out towards the sun. keep staring. I hope you go blind.
