Absolution…
Sowing words like seeds
Across endless plains of paper
Sinless, white, pristine sheets
Stained black with the weight of
Words…
Painted dark in the color of
Lies…
Dripping and red, the bedclothes of
Sin…
Seeking salvation in poems and prose
Hiding myself from the truths that I know
Searching for absolution in the wake of the pen
And finding nothing but these tatters of hope…
