What I Know May 29
How do I reconcile
these many iterations of me?
The Catholic schoolgirl
with a rosary at her side,
the graduate student
on a years-long bender,
the pixie cut fairy
with a song on her uke,
the obedient wife,
the globetrotting saleslady,
the divorcée, the free spirit,
the fiercely independent,
protective, sometimes reckless,
sometimes guarded person
I am now.
I don’t know about the rosary,
but I know about roses blooming.
I don’t know about drinking,
but I know about remembering to dance.
I don’t know about fame,
but I know I had better keep singing.
I know all these women
still live in me.
And I know I love them all,
because they made me.
