A dozen years of penanceA single malefic act
Made in your name
Without your consent
Without your knowledge
Ultimatly driving me
d
o
w
nInto febrile despair.
Attritional
Penitent
Contrite
Compunctious
I'm sorrySorrow words and sorrow voice
A little boy smile
Not quite enough
to assuage the wound
Baby bathwater and me
Throw it all out
Simplify
Simplify
SimplifyA complication a solution
A direction a destination
Beginning or end
Salvation
DestructionAnnihilation
Burnt black
and twistedThe tears of yesterday
Washed away
By the tears of tomorrow
