no title possible, no. 7

redemption
what price do i pay
for a liar
a thief
a gentle man

i spell remorse
slowly
letter by letter
sounding the vowels
tasting the reasons

swim slowly
through these confusions
or tread upon the water

what end is salvation
for i hear that
comfort lies there
but don't know

waiting
while the sun exhausts
clothed in the gray
that succumbs to night

redemption
what price can i pay
