CRACKED ARMOR ; a modern!myth mix | annabelle (athena): struck young by the absurdity of the either-or, relishes the back lot fights that rush blood to knuckles, but wears vulnerability like a close-knit sweater. eventually learns to play sharp as the boot-hidden blade, and revel in the bothness of sharp cheekbones and short hair. [accompanying poem]
