collage of sin

if i were a priest,
then i would probably take all the confessions
made to me
and create a collage, which i would call the collage of sin,
that no one knew where it began, 
nor where it ended,
but of course, i am not a priest

THE REPLY TO THE PRIEST

go in peace,
son, daughter, friend,
says the priest,

to which i reply,
go bask in the sun,
but the priest never seems to take my advice,
since they look as pale as ever
each and every
time i see them again, again, again
