A Good Little Girls Zine

I hear you

brewing,

twisting,

tearing

through the trees in the backyard.

A violent energy—with the strength of dragons, crushing the tiny buildings beneath your fiery feet.

I get close to the window,

watch you near

smile at your magnetic pull,

let myself gravitate to the unflinching field of vehement,

hope to find my roar!
