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.
