pretty dreams
and girlish screams
twirling about in fields that bleed
laughing little, little things
forcing, forcing
pretty screams
the deflowering of
girlish dreams

posies and rosies
and dandelion wishes
properly plucked
blowing beneath a
shining sun
muting out
the girlish screams
of all those pretty, pretty dreams

ladybugs in
barbie shoes
tea parties
with pinkies up
while pretend people
sip the stuff
of girlish dreams
from empty cups
pretty screams
