A Good Little Girls Zine

Every Direction, Reach

In one breath, she pressed

her past and present flat between the pages of a seedling desire to stand steady on the balance beam of her thoughts—

In one breath, she pressed

her thoughts flat between the pages of a deep den of yearning to take action, flip the switch

and step into her full self; no more flattened between the pages of her thoughts and desires; standing instead, atop a crest, reaching out in every direction.
