Palimpsest

Lines

How many lines have I crossed,

How many boundaries have I dared,

How many fates have I challenged,

How many souls have I maligned,

All unknowing and innocent?

A reckoning is due.

One step. Two steps.

Dare I risk another?

Past follies and foolishnesses

Have left their mark

And weigh in with their reply:

Either “Yes” or “No”.

Perhaps both.

Equivocal.
