Saturday

Kathy Moffet

What happened
last Saturday
happened.
I did not aid
or abet it.
I did it.
I warned you
I was not perfect.
Saturday
I proved it 
to you.  
I promise
not to be so
imperfect
again.
If to err
is human,
and to forgive
Divine,
what is
forgetting
but giving
this all-too-human
human a chance to
re-prove herself
in your forgiving
eyes for my
unforeseeing ones.
