Confess!

Confiteri—

to acknowledge I done wrong
so I can sleep.

Also, to speak, say
(in a song?).
Confiteri

the load I carry,
drag along.
I can’t sleep

for the clanking chains,
words that sting.
Confiteri—

to undress my bones
(for trying?).
I’ll speak sleep—

confession-sheep
murmuring baaaa. . .
Confiteor!
Thank God for sleep!
