Forgiveness

Today’s theme is forgiveness. Of self and others. 

Of stupidity. 

Of stiff, hard, cold, distant insensitivity. 

Of ignorance. 

Of my own brutality and cruelness. 

Forgive, forget. Forthwith, forever. Or a little. For a moment. Now.

A sliver of forgiveness. 

A translucent oily drip, specked with fluff. 

An soft palm. A congratulations. You’ve done it. You’re alive.
