Confession

by Justine C. Tajonera

I'm sorry for raising
my voice,
leaving you to yourself
as I complain
about my aching
back.

When you spilled
the carton of milk
on the floor
I hardly recognized
myself,
a witch with a
mop,
wailing.

You won't remember,
perhaps,
when you are all
grown up.

Or that is what
I hope.

In the meantime,
come over here,
let me
begin
again.
