FORGIVE US OUR TRANSGRESSIONS

© 2009 Howard McQueen

It all begins with an aggression
towards oneself,
often then jumps as projection upon someone else,
escalating to a transgression,
this inner aggression flung upon another.

Perhaps the other has the sense of being
to see the projection, and diffuse the bomb of reaction,
so that what is now loosed
becomes a wondrous
boomerang of a double gift
of FORGIVENESS.
