(and a weight let go, fifty years old
though i am not innocent
i believe my hands still stained
have also allowed water to my soul
she says my atonement
… is not hers to give
she must re-explain to my tortured soul
how forgiveness works
i may still hold on but
i am no longer self-damned
and i wonder what the hell i was so afraid of)
