a god-fearing woman
would require absolution now
but as i am not, temptation
and desire are gifts received
without threat of reparations.
so, you are invited.
come inside, lick my lungs,
gut me from the inside out,
teach me what my name means.
save your penance for later.
Fireblossom asked the Real Toads to write about temptation and confession.
