A Good Little Girls Zine

With a baby breath, I swim to the farthest end of the pond, believing in this, in us

memories of the strength I get from us glide with each stroke and I grasp the water in my fist,

a useless act of preservation,

for there’s only one thing to do here, in this bottomless pond:

swim on toward the banks of love.
