She Felt Guilty for Not Feeling Guilty (Enough)
Don't misunderstand:
She felt more guilt than any of the virgin martyrs
and their hapless counterparts allegedly
in heaven, but
such guilt would never be enough
to match what she had done and failed to do.
As she prepared to let herself drift off to sleep
she began recording in specific detail each one
of her commissions and omissions
and pined and writhed and empathized
with everyone she had ever hurt especially
the ones she loved the most
not including of course
herself
