A Good Little Girls Zine

FullSizeRender (1)

Silky sinew stretches bone to bone,
joint to joint
and she grows gracefully long into
A fluttery fluid force
Twinkling in the sunlight,
starring in a solo show, spitting a sparky soliloquy
mistress of magically melodies
rhythmic rants of rights,
radical it may seem
for a five foot tall female
to be such a force,
but she’s mightier than she appears–
in her flat sandals, her ideas, her words, her lines, her breath
stretch like sinew
connecting ideas to people,
capturing beauty
constructing a virtuous path for herself and this world.
