Measurement
It’s hard to say
how much I care
or how little
which is why
I’ve decided to let silence
be the weight
that will be measured
against forgiveness
and when one of them
tips the scale of need
I’ll know
which burden
to unshackle
and which must be lifted
again into
the perfection of
a temporary balance.
