Heartburn and indigestion most unpleasant.
I knew better but ate it anyway.
Have only myself to blame.

Mea Culpa

What I have criticized in others
returns in me.
That which I despise
I am and have been.
When I stand for judgment
I ask absolution
for my humanity and mercy
for my love.

Culpa

Culpa

Colocar a culpa
em algo ou alguém é
resolver a questão
de quem ganha
ou perde.

Entretanto
culpar algo
é o mais
evidente
sinal de culpa
por deixar 
de fazer
mais e mais.

Mea Culpa

Sins of others may give pain with which I'm fraught

But don't cause me unceasing distress that lingers within

It's those things that I did but should not have, or didn't but ought

That nag me in the wee small hours and stay under my skin
Form: Rhyme

Mea Culpa

Living within the madness
the echoes come and go
Channeling everything left unsaid
in phrases yet to know

Time suspended, barriers down
the walls come crashing in
Each voice a memory which haunts sublime
—that unforgiven sin

(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)

Mantle of sufferings

Thrust upon us all
We share in His Agony
And lift His Cross
With our tribulations

No hope, no light
Without darkness

His Resurrection is
Our hope, our light

The way of death is
The way of life

Eternity, our salvation

Began...

Mea Culpa

traducere de: Angela Mamier Nache. 

aujourd’hui dieu m’a rappelé à lui
m’a grondé comme un père en me disant
qu’un ange s’est foulé les ailes en volant
parmi mes mots et je jure que je ne l’ai pas voulu
et dieu m’a cru sur parole
après il m’a rendu tous les mots en retour
et il m’a dit gentiment de les préserver
qu’aucun ange ne se brise plus les ailes
dans leur incompris
