A Good Little Girls Zine

Swollen and throbbing

Calloused and powerful

Pretty and girly

A kid’s sized length 

Day by day

Night by night

The two of you

Firmly rooted under me

A Graceful force–

A movement full

Teaching me that size doesn’t matter at all

that pain, sorrow, delight and all

 it’s all just temporary, fleeting is all

Grateful for all the lessons; I lean 

Lean into two 

The power of two
