where the sins fall

platforms are raised

and building is a way

of gaining redemption


even building something

the same way it was

means amends and the effort

not to re-do the mistake


but even with error excused

result is not the only indicator

though intent means little

it matters to the will to try


and where absolution comes

buildings fortify on the edge of waste
