your father was an important man.
always out on business. big
suits. black briefcase. first class.
he sent you to boarding school with the rest of us
bleach scented secrets kept swollen
beneath our tucked in shirts
except on the weekends your roommate went home
when you’d stand naked in front of the full length mirror
and let your long silvery hair slip down your back
while your fingers made small
bruises along the line of your waist
muttering, just two more, just two.
