Going over
life and 
its turns and twists
I meet regrets
and guilt;
behind them
stand long haired
judges and
long eared attorneys
Both have faces
known to me for long
accused I am of 
serving my interests
and betraying others.
Witnesses file in
one after another
to recount 
my acts;
Listening to them
is entertainment.
Now I strip down all 
judgments
all verdicts
all sentences
all guilt
and all regrets
in this solitary cell
to be 
to be simply and
to be simply self.
