Absolution
by Regis Auffray
Soft soothing snowflakes swirl
Through the open portal of my soul
Melt
Assuage the flaming fires of my fevered mind
Bless me mother for I have sinned
I've prayed
Yes prayed with fire
Look at me
Naked I am
Not ashamed
Your endless insults are powerless
I absolve you
As I am
"Mea culpa"
Is no longer
Part of my consciousness
