I desire to talk

Father Smith sat in  the  little room
With a wooden window we assume
For folk confessed sins hidden from his eye
Or at least  they have a chance to try

As I confessed I ate my sister’s rusks
Should he know I’m starved of human trust?
As I confessed  I knew desire for men
Why should I repeat that  phrase again?

Yet is mere desire itself a sin  for me
As I have little chance that it shall be?
I’d need a mountaineer with caring hands
And  a hundred  heavy rubber bands

In my imaginative fantasy
I desire to talk  while sipping   tea
