Aphrodite Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer
5.0
i love millennial poetry books and this one is probably one of my favorites
“they vilified want but all of us are still full of it. even me. even still”
“i know why eve stole the fruit. i know why pandora opened the jar. can you really say you don’t?”
“they say i had no childhood. they say i rose from the sea fully formed, forced to bear the weight of other people’s desire”
“we forget what beauty is sometimes and why it’s important
she reads me her personal list of the most beautiful things and there are no people on it
she says…if u were only meant to be beautiful, we wouldn’t have put you down here in the dirt.”
