The Little Things
I pay attention to the way the sun sets every night and take a picture if it’s different than usual
I spray my perfume the same each day, twice on my left wrist and then on my right
I write letters about the things I love just to make me happy
and I put flowers in my hair in the spring
I braid my sister’s hair how my mother braided mine
and I collect trinkets I’ve found over time
I’ve made my room my sanctuary
To me girlhood is the little things
