collage entitled “Eden’s Desolation” © 1996 — by: rob kistner
and so I stumble on
soul-stained
with the smudge of sin
drenched in regret
I stumble anguished
into this toxic nightfall
captive on this road to extinction
of my lethal human arrogance
prisoner of my duplicitous apathy
seeking forgiveness
