 Sorry by Ute Carson The Jimson Journal, September 6, 2006 She favors the word "sorry" As if it were a magic wand Erasing all hurt, Taking back the past, Giving life a second chance, Allowing for remorse, And burying the story She never wanted to happen. But "sorry" can't change Her deepest self, Now vacant inside, Clinging to the cliff By her fingernails, As the agony of failure and loss Courses through her sorry body.
