Apology

Bless me Father,
for I have sinned.

My last confession was...
10 years ago,
3 days later,
and 1 second past.

Blankets of regret
become the epidermis
that envelop,
that devour.

Ravenous repentance
in choosing to do wrong,
and failing to do good.

Justification is void.

Our savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy...

I apologize

For Adam and Eve
For Eve

For Mother and Father
For Mother

For the slain lamb, for the suffering, for bigotry.

I apologize
and I espouse all of my sins.

  1. Oooh! "espouse"! Much better choice!

    Think about your title. "Sincere" likely gives away the irony, or the comedy, or the surprise. What if it was simply "Apologia"? Or "Apology"? That way, it still retains the chance that you are playing it both ways.
