There were mornings, early, stuffy in the car and stuffy in my clothes when tights and collars and lace didn’t feel holy
But the way my brothers made fun of me for saying “aminal” instead of “animal” as we drove past the church
Maybe it was there that I pinned my faith
A scarlet bloom I would later take
to turning and twisting
Mistaking for a Rubik’s cube
Even though it already was the same color on every side
Even as the puzzle already was the answer.
