... smacked wrist...


 

… smacked wrist…

 

 

 

… a tentative footstep…

hesitant - almost fearful…

… heart stopping moment as realisation dawns

… and the full reality is revealed…

 

my guilt… all my guilt…

regretted and fully felt…

… so will the earth open and swallow me…

such is the shame I feel…

 

bad, bad ,bad…

so where do I go?

… what is my punishment?

where, where… do I go from here?
