Trial By Night
in the final moments of dusk you reach out to the fading light
a last grab at redemption
to no possible avail
toward a jury of stars
and the judgement of the moon
your only defense is a feeling of remorse
so you throw yourself at the mercy of the court
“the only innocent thing i have ever done
is to admit when
i am guilty”
accepting the sentence is nobility
among the culpable
