I ask forgiveness
Copyright © 2009, Kostya Altman. All rights reserved
I am speaking in an unfamiliar language of my ancestors,
My brain is trying to keep up with the sounds my tongue makes.
The words I am saying do not have any taste nor have they color,
But they are the veil that hides my true and innocent mistakes.
And, I am asking for forgiveness of those that I may have wronged,
I am asking those that I know, and I am asking those that I knew
From a time that isn’t anymore, in a place where I had once belonged.
In self-indulgence, I forgive and ask for my forgiveness too.
I ask to be forgiven by
My friends, my lovers and my kin.
I beg to be forgiven by
My G-d, the One I don't believe in.
