I Know your Sins

Penetrated
Like a mist
Beyond walls and barriers
You put up to deter others—

I understand…
I’ve done the same

I’m well acquainted
With your pain

But in fall
When colors blur
And November winds
Make autumn chill
Cling to me
Though it goes
Hard
Against your will

I’ve gone beneath
Your lovely skin;
I know your sins
And love you still.
