A Good Little Girls Zine

Still Here

With a deep inhale of fresh paper,

I exhale the last two weeks

i scan the room, find the familiar signs, the wall of titles float like wallpaper stands in front of me and my eyes are fingers tracing the bindings,

I am finally still, present, no endless to-do lists, no thoughts, plans,

Just me, the books, and my eyes.
