Dear Mama,
Dear Mama, As you know, at twenty two I remain single. This may seem like an odd way to start this letter, but I promise you it is going somewhere.

Three Birds in a Nest
Trigger Warning: Includes discussion of disordered eating Bird classification has become a recent passion of mine. I read up on crows and vultures, pigeons and swans, ducks and parrots. I read about these birds and try to classify these people as one of them. I am searching for the perfect simile but it always escapes me. They pick at my soft spots like vultures, feast upon the flesh I offer up to them by my own hands. They laugh and caw loudly like crows, making sure there is nowhere I can go where their words do not follow me. They repeat the same phrases like parrots, and I hear my thoughts through their mouths. There is no simile that works and really it feels much too mean to liken entire people to birds in my story.
