Wishbone

 There are sins I’d commit again
Even knowing what I do
About remorse and
Consequences.

Rules make more sense once you break them

The sound they make sliding out of the way
Is pleasure and breath
When I inhale them
They race my pulse
When I bend them enough 
to show what lies beyond the law
The boundaries between good and evil
Should and shouldn’t
Yes and No
May never have existed
And snap like a wishbone.

Love the images and how they work like a wishbone! I love short, powerful poems like this!
