A Good Little Girls Zine

It’s easy to forget, get swept away

The daily grind and needy faces,

crowd my days loud

louder than loud–

I can go days silencing her…

sometimes weeks

But.

It only takes one: note, flash, slice, clip to strap my suit back in place

And.

I am back baby

Back like better than before

A fire burning so hot it’s blue

For.

I

Am
