To Those I’ve Wounded by Howie Good
What I didn’t do
I should’ve done,
and what I did do
I shouldn’t have,
and now I can’t
escape my own
history, a stench
like dead-flower
water in a vase.
Howie Good is the author most recently of the poetry collections Gunmetal Sky (Thirty West Publishing) and Famous Long Ago (Laughing Ronin Press).
