4. Boys I Didn’t Tell
There was Kevin.
And maybe Marcus.
A boy with green eyes at church camp—
who sat too close,
who didn’t pull away.
I said nothing.
I folded desire into my palms
like contraband.
I carried it home
and buried it under my mattress.
What might they have said
if I had spoken?
I’ll never know.
But sometimes I still dream
they whispered yes.
