to forgive (v.)
I think of the act
of forgiving
as a part-time job.
It comes in bouts
and pays you
in good karma.
It tastes like
an antacid, cures
heartburn, and mends
relationships.
You and I
gather our apologies
and safeguard them
in a storage locker –
a task so remiss
that it leaves no aftertaste.
