long overdue for confession

i should

go visit the church.

St. Raymond's.

i can see it through the window

now that the leaves

have fallen.

i can hear

the church bells, 

the organ, the choir.

i can

smell the incense.

i'm way overdue for confession.

maybe tomorrow

i'll sneak

into the Little Chapel

and hit my knees.

ask for forgiveness.

give thanks.
