Act of Contrition

Call collect
Genuflect
Bow your head

What’s been said
What’s been served
Spun and swerved

Into the curve
Skin of the skid
Wish that I did

Know what you hid
Beneath the surface
Of your moods

Thoughts for food
That rumble down
Lost and found

Look around
Look within
See yourself

Another sin.
What you want
What you need

To come from me
To bend the knee
One, two, three
​
My apology
