Word on the Streets
I have heard there are little
girls who do not cry
themselves
awake
Girls who walk in bliss
at night
alone
moonshined
girls aglow
I have heard there are girls
who dance across
horizons and
beneath
sunsets
Heard they pulsate
as both birth and
evolution
of
time
I have heard there are girls
who right now know
they are
more
than
The origin stories written
told and sold
by mere
mortal
men
