oft & long,
do I write,
but not for here…
but today great happiness and a worldly sad
intermingling and in it,
within it,
'tis a day for short,
a shrift (1)
of a great brevity
for the truly important things in life,
there exists already, a single word,
that hints and speak volumes to our
soul;
today, that word without further explanation is:
shrift

shrift: confession. absolution
