Some acts are unretractable–
take out the nail
and you still made
a hole.
I’d rather be
a hammer,
if I only could,
I surely would,
but is it action
or inaction
that makes one
most culpable?

Just love your use of metaphor here. And the final question in last two stanzas is a real challenge for us. I’m certainly reflecting. Culpable….the perfect word choice. Love it.
