just and unjust

forgive me when
I fall
not
through accident but through
some poor
design

for
the devil’s poor that way
while
God is rich
to give
which I should remember

and while grace
be mine
and
yours
it’s not enough on Earth sometimes
to know

and wounds are honest pain outward
inward

and while there are accidents
sometimes and
often
hurts are delivered
oh
so consciously

still spilling blood
of
a kind
with not nearly enough doing
to patch up

c l couch
