prayer for seventeen

published in "WSAM ZINE" spring 2021 edition

dawn of new horizon
the almost forgotten miserable
nevertheless
breath like you mean it
the day of reinvention has come and it is
celebrated
worshipped
she dreams of driving
and lipgloss
alcohol
miniskirts and hickies

blessed in the blood of an amazon
painted in rose gold and millennial pink
the birth of the newest wannabe femme fatale
