lyrics

Original Sin

Sentences sweet as honey:
the loneliness of politics.
& words bitter as poison:
the politics of loneliness.
& this is my typewriter--it ain't yours.

I don't believe in original sin.

My grandfather on his deathbed,
he pressed some coins into my hand,
but when I looked they were directions--
a history of life & love
inked upon my wrinkled palm.

Now, I don't believe in original sin,
but I knew all his regrets then.

& I am so afraid that I won't understand your poetry.
