ATONEMENT

On my body but not inside my body on my mind but not inside my mind

Of you but not you

Over here brother over here come sit with your sister come sit with your love

Thank you but no thank you is a privilege for which I resent you

Do you have any idea who you are what you have done and to whom

Here take this one Let this one be my face

If you could speak without aid what would you say what would you say without aid if you could speak

Are you ashamed Do you feel regret Do you feel at all

It is how I felt that I regret not what I said to myself or to anyone or what I believed not to know

Of course what else would you have chosen it is like holding water in your hand

Do you know when you are in the room the air takes on color the air that enters our lungs our lungs

Over here brother come sit over here with us come sit with your loves with yourself with your love
