St Joseph's

St Joseph’s
Junior High,
was a lot smaller

than I’d
remembered
it being.

The school entrance,
that old cusp,

twenty five years on,
stood reduced to a mere gate.

This Catholic bud of
embellishment;

cracking terracotta
and peeling
layers of fiction,

was ultimately
just a building,
where I’d attended school.
