Why Remorse?
Did you know
my heart
(a thing that god begat)
has blinkered eyes?
It’s not a lie.
But I’ll admit
that saying so (especially
when looking at a bloodied ram)
is passing strange.
Am I deranged or even damned?
Perhaps.
But let me see
how often I
(and artlessly?)
can speak of “heart”
within some verse
in which I claim
nonsensically
I’m trying to avoid
remorse
for things for which
I can’t be blamed.
So even I
have cause to ask
"oh what's the point
I'm aiming at?".
