Sinners

The only sin is not knowing

the bigger picture,

and even then

it’s nothing new:

No one stopped

the strangling fig.

No one rescued Job.

God must know itself,

I think, and thinking,

know myself, and even then —

that God and the Devil are secretly one

only God and the Devil can know.

The only sin is not knowing the bigger picture,

and even then it’s nothing new.

I forgive the Father God,

and he forgives me, too.
