A Good Little Girls Zine

In the Corner of the Counter

Inside

a pool forms,

slow, deep.

Like walking through a juicer, the liquid is squeezed out

Into a tall glass of sweet truth that no one can see clearly.

So the glass sits, ignored on the counter–mold forming at the edges

A tall glass filled to the brim, abandoned, spoiling, fully alone.
