St. Justin


He was my earliest apology.


I am sorry for that time I drove

my father’s van to the hill,


got out, and let all those mosquitoes

give me what I was sure

I deserved.


I have since discovered darker

corners of my heart, raging bends


in my rivers. The water rushes over

stones that will never be smooth.
