When Truth Hurts
Like looking in  a mirror,
and being shown not fresh youth
but ragged age, lost dreams---
but good for the soul it is
I'm sure...mea culpa,
my bad...

ME a pleiades
Mea culpa, hands up
My fault I do confess
Many my obsessions-
Mainly pastimes,hobbies
Mostly my endeavours
Matters of memory
Made into poetry...

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....

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...

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)...

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...

Who holds sureness in making wishes true? On the park bench, I'm wishing for a star. A square impeachable mea culpa screw. Who holds sureness in making wishes true? Perhaps a spark that sparks optimism blew. I cross the stream just to be where you are. Who holds sureness in making wishes true? On the park bench, I'm wishing for a star.

Pardon me
  but aren't you --
Oh, no. You're not
  How foolish of me
Please excuse

But, say
  Wait a second
Weren't you --
  No, I guess not
Sorry, my bad

Ha! I've got it
  We met at --
Oh, no we didn't
  It was someone else
Mea culpa

What's that?
  You're my landlord?
The rent's past due?
  Impossible, sir

You must be having a bad day
  ~ I guess I'll be going my way...
