Status Updates From Helen of Troy, 1993: Poems

i don’t know how to rate poetry, but i did enjoy a lot of poems in here.
so well written, and i appreciate Maria Zoccola wanting to give Helen autonomy :)

"she's waiting for the thing that's coming, the slow creep of movement over the skin, like standing in a puddle with long jeans, feeling the damp climb higher by degrees. she thinks she will be able to see the change in the mirror in the bathroom, and then later in the mirror in the bedroom, and later still in the dark glass of storefronts and car windows..."

my favorite so far bc what girl hasn't had this moment?
