to sit in on confessions.
maybe a side
box
next to the confessional
box
with its screened
window
to whisper through.
what do priests
confess?
have they stolen from
the till, drank
too much wine, or
lusted
after some attractive
parishioner in a short
dress?
the stories
one could collect.
do they toss
and turn with our sins
in their ears
at night,
how do they sleep
after hearing
all that we
confess.
