National Poetry Writing Month 2016

Forgiveness

4/4/2016

Forgiveness?

Mine?

What is forgiveness
and why do you want it from me?

Forgive? 

Forgive what?

You mean, look past your wrongs 
and see only the bright, laughing parts of your soul -

forgiveness?

Or, do you want me to dust your wrongs 
on a philosophical balance,
strip your wrongs bare to the bone
redress the hurt you dealt me so 
recklessly 
and clothe it with fake gold?

Or, forgiveness
look your wrongs straight in the face
straight at the smokey eye, rouged cheeks,
toupée
Laugh at myself,
"I thought you were somebody else
it was stupid of me, 
I'm sorry"

This kind of forgiveness?

I don't know what you mean by it
besides, you've given me no evidence
for why I shouldn't just forget -
what?

who?
