Two Hundred and Six Pieces Shauna Fecher I am puzzle pieces of a woman Puzzled pieces of a woman assembled piece by inter-locking piece. I am shifted and turned and forced together by my own impatience. I am the combined efforts of years of medical training of student loans, of endless cups of coffee I am Alice through the looking glasssculpted hips and perfect tits poised on shaking stilettos. I am digging red acrylic nails into my thigh, again their voices aren’t quite low enough. I am Frankenstein’s monster gawking up they gasp in wonder. She’s alive.
