Beautiful siStars

There are little girls Who’ve learned to hold their tongues Tight between their teeth and might They taste their own blood and grow strong with the boldness Of ancient stars

There are little girls

Who’ve learned to hold their tongues

Tight between their teeth

and might

They taste their own blood

and grow strong with the boldness

Of ancient stars
