Due Process
(For Sonya, and for Kim)

The days, and hours, each minute has its reckoning,
And what I did not know I did I feel acutely
Now. This knowing is the thing--unusual, and how
Cruel it is to see yourself so cruel. I did not mean
Yet neither was I innocent, but blind. And in this
Blindness truly viciousness was hid. But hid in
Me. And in me I must pay. For I no longer am
She who I was. Wronged:
(I was!)
I have.
