I apologise for my compliance
as for my non-compliance; for both
essence and accident, the outward
and visible signs of inward
and spiritual disgrace; for what
I am, and how I comport myself
in public; for my private vices,
my tasteless vases;
for all my wants, of understanding
and of charity; for wanting
to be understood in spite of these.
For loving what I love, I
apologise, since that love so often
is bestial and craven,
death-driven; for my repetition
compulsion; for my repetition
compulsion; for all my sec-
rets and lies, I apologise.
Dominic
