A Good Little Girls Zine

Divinely Right

Arms outstretched, I twirl
my skirt flies ballooning into perfect waves
I tilt my chin towards the blue parachute above me

Daffodils
Buttercups
Roses
Petunias
Me
Together we twirl

We are light, gleaming
We are green, sprouting
We are air, breathing

Wildly graceful curves like the waves of my skirt
Divinely Right
My gold-plated footprints mark the path with raw truth.
