today: I'd rather be an Atheist

This may be a bucket of sorrow,
or sorry, that tips and spills
on the counter, on my dress.
even a diamond can't clean
the mess. maybe I feel bitter,
maybe I feel ruined. Guilt turns
on like a fire, but repentance is
the warmth winter beats away.
I'm jealous of people who keep
their hands in their pockets.
