Sinner

Sinner 

sunOsun, who asks for no recompense, 

blind me to my faults, don't reveal me 

as I am, don't light my need for gold, 

for duck to savor, for claret to comfort 

me in my guilt—, I deny those I have 

injured and hope they will never find me, 

hence I remain in the black, secluded, 

avoiding human contact, only my 

brother and sister in limbo listen 

to my queries, to my prayers at Matins, 

and they hover like hummingbirds 

around a font of honey—, have I lured 

them, unlike David—, birds came to him freely 

and sang with him morning and evening
