Domenica Martinello
A poem by the writer Domenica Martinello. The lines read: "I got every good thing in life by asking for it, and every bad thing too - or so they'd have me believe. Poetry often feels to me like clicking the beads of a rosary. It's not hurting anybody, I guess, but that doesn't make it virtuous."
