Sorry

sorry
i hid me long ago
behind curtains
bunched to the side
of the show.
sorry
it was i, i did not
know when where
or how to go. to hear
''hello'', the word like
a mouth, gaping &
waiting-
sorry
for the end i was
anticipating, unaware
of no beginning. unfocused,
hands & meanings
spinning- spitting in the 
face of time.
sorry
my name is crime, when
i reply you'll be a felon. 
slide in, between skin &
bone, we'll hide what has
been stolen.
sorry 
for what's in store, i am
the pet of regret & i haven't
quite learned my lesson yet.
