A Good Little Girls Zine

Hold Me Up

Endless beaches—coast to coast

Rows and rows of palm trees

Spread

Across the sandy shores unyielding

— a kind, sweet night

A spa, a pool, a walk

That gave

–a silent night

So calm, so still

I know sometimes

I may not say it

I know sometimes

You may not feel it

But still,

You stand

Next to me always

Holding, holding, holding me up

When the storm clouds

Finally parted,

That day our walk,

Our 3 mile trek

We started alone

At first, then soon—

She greeted us with her rolling waves

Reminding me of

How simple it is:

To live, to walk, to be

By you.

The silent wind

Ran through our hair

The gentle waves

Forever engrained—a kind, sweet day.

Pee Test

Little white stick,
I didn’t plan to be back
here again,
removing the blue cap to hold you
in a wash of hot urine,
then watch the clock—
breath held,
heart thrumming,
telling no one—
