i.

when she says sorry,
she means it
and

while some people have god,
she has the bruises on her knees,
the holes in her dress,
and the knots in her hair.

she's trapped –
like little boats in little bottles,
sailing nowhere.

you're the one
who should
be sorry.  

ii.

unlike many,
she knows to always be careful
of the people with rough eyes,
and a rough voice,
and a rough touch.
she knows always to be careful
of the hands that grip
and the hands that hold.
she knows always to be careful
of those who lie with their soul
instead of their lips.

unlike many,
she knows always to be careful.
