"Sin"

by Jeph Johnson

 

After trying
I give in
There's no reason
          not to sin.
When temptation
          calls to yield
There is nothing
          I can feel;
But a dull immobile buzz:
All my senses
          become numb
And the passion I had felt when seduced
          begins to melt
Just a droplet of my sin
          Artificial
     Genuine
