IV. OUT, DAMNED SPOT

i know we all do some

pretty horrible things,

i do,

but i think of what i've done

and my hands,

once steady,

tremble

relentlessly.

my chest tightens,

constricting,

a visceral vice,

and my heart -

my worn heart,

stu-stu-stutters in my sleep.

(ALTERNATIVE TITLE: FORGIVE ME FATHER, FOR I HAVE SINNED)
