FORGIVENESS
on the Atlantic coastline
I sit...
spirits enter me
new and old,
judging me
for my thoughts...
it was an age of
enlightenment
that besieged me...
terminating in the wind
ages of scorn halting
movements...
victimizing and berating
they are towards me...
in the distant clouds
I see their
tormented faces,
realizing it is the land,
not me,
they focus on this place
as if it were here
they died...
on these shores,
meaningless lives
were lost,
so long ago...
no forgiveness were
they ever given.
