2. Sorry
There is sadness on me
To many it’s very
difficult to say the words
“I’m Sorry”
Wh0 should be saying
“I’m sorry”?
There is regret in me
3. Many Ways
I stiffen my neck
Gently lower your head
I glare like a tiger
Look at who you are apologizing to
I draw myself up like a great ape
Place your hands over your heart
I clench my claws like a bear
Relax your fists
I cut through the air with my words
evasive like a sideways-leaping monkey
Say little
I hide my thoughts
coiling up like a sleeping crane
My hands stretch out
I demand my due
like a stomping deer about to charge
Wait
Offer something
the one you have savaged
will grow closer
like the Irish
