treason, pal.
forgiveness.
what do you say?
tongue with force
doesn’t save
as may words
as many words,
as gives up.
and you say treason
or you say forgiveness.
like two hands like
two symbols of strength,
a killer cancer on
the street downwind.
do you dance?
does god despair
in lower-case hell
behind the brownstone?
snow this week,
and no gods dancing.
