The Girl Shouts

Do you hear the girl screaming?

Harmonizing with the mother and the crone

She is not valiant

for doing what she needs

She is not brave for scaling the rooftops

because no one will listen any other way

She does not want songs in her honor

only because she spoke her truth

Tearing through the zipties

they pierced through her lips
