A Mended Fence a Sinners Doubt

A Mended Fence A Sinners Doubt
David J Walker

The sin 
is in
	The sin is out

The sin is to 
          pretend  
and not to doubt

where truth begins
a ragged rout

the books all blend
the rancor’s shout 

with trails of gloom 
or gratitude 

a tactile room 
too often skewed

as hues descend a
reconned drought 

a seasons dirth 
a  Delphic earth

vatic verse
that vendor's tout 

the nether world 
escapes without

a false pretense 
in recompense 

as gods invest 
the beggar’s bout

a mended fence
a sinners doubt
