Rosebud

Master of Apology,
Thou hast heard me
so often and relaxed
my tightened jaw.
Even as the memories
were old, the strings
they pull still
make me stagger. I look
to Thee. I invoke Thy Name
to erase the traces,
the only One who
heareth my confessions.
Cleanser of Memory
is the meaning
of Thy Name.
