A Good Little Girls Zine

Heavy,
I’m so heavy
Heavy full of space
Ballooning out sideways
A resistance band
so, so heavy

Heavy filled with time

I’m so heavy
Heavy flat on the cold floor
weighed down with iron petals
which hang like wings from my back
each clinking and clanking with every step

I’m so heavy– Heavy
Heavy full of rusty old roles
ones that I
just
don’t
fit
into
anymore.
