A Haiku for Forgiveness

Forgive me if my
gospel bled tainted, left tears.
I am human too.

I wanted to be
your psalm. Genuine lyric
over sweet verse, but,

I had forgotten
how to sing. Blame me. Blame pride.
Blame forgetfulness.

I could not lead you
to milk and honey when I
was lost in Egypt.

Blame my nothingness.
Please forgive my everything.
I never told you:

Sometimes I bleed blood,
cry tears, bruise flesh. Remember:
I am human, too...
