The Atonement

Dropping it
into the
canal
so 
long
ago
took
a 
memory
that
could
not
be
left
forgotten
into
a
status
of
purgatory

The pieces
of 
the Rosary
were
left
on the
trail
that 
led up
to the
Channel
leaving
residue
to
a 
self 
incarcerated
form
of
exile

It is Today
that
I am 
reaching
towards
the
surface
of the
embankment
where
grace
and
reality
hits

It is 
my hope
that reconciliation 
and courage
will finally
consummate
birthing
a passage
of 
atonement 
for this
lost
soul....
