400: Ana, In Parts

"Ana, In Parts"
Meliza Bañales

I.

Fridays, after school. We take the 57 to St. Catherine's on Redondo Beach Boulevard to confess.

She always wants me to go first.

"I think you just like me to wait for you."

"And?"

"Fine."

She kneels, I enter. I spend fifteen minutes telling my weekly failures to the man behind the screen. Twelve 'hail marys'

OH GOD. Beautiful. Now I'm thankful for all that little Spanish I learned in high school. This was absolutely gorgeous; it was heartbreaking.
