Paper Absolution

all my cares and carelessness
               penned upon a paper plea
                 folded in floating prayer
               and set adrift with a spark
               sorrowful secrets martyred
               on a pyre of choices made 
           …embers sinking with lost love

               7 lines, 7 syllables per line
