course and recourse.

i am not going to take my hands to washing themselves over, to saythere is no need for forgiveness, all of the times i have
tried
tried
tried
to get a grasp on heaven, and fallen short, no moment
perfect.
please don't let me do the damage i have done
in past lives, just let me call this one
progress
let me make my old mistakes twice, and twice only
no more than three times, if the need be
present
tense and subject.
as long as i am learning, i will find
collapse down in the middle, in the sheets
of paper that have managed to remember
the sound of certain voices, of times
i have been scolded
by the great loves of my life.
