sorry

(circa spring 2000)


I pray for the words
to express how
I
feel
However,
I know my words
will not say
quite a great deal
About the way
I feel or could feel
or
should feel
or
have felt
Or
about the things
I’ve thought
and
found out:
I’m sorry for you,
I’m sorry for me,
I’m afraid life is only
meant
for suffering and misery.
