An Insult So Dark

An honourable sister aggrieved by a most 
uncouth slur - an insult so demeaning and 
dark it needs be deemed a most Heinous 
Sin - of the like people decline to hear - or 
hesitate whispering about; deeds so base 
as hurling undeserved insults at a sibling’s  
impeccable character & sweet disposition, 
a gentle-voiced, caring, long-suffering soul 
with infinite fortitude, & enduring empathy 
with all things alive - OH, HOW could I - in 
a moment of rakish foolishness, insult this 
most adorable sister of mine? 

How to make amends when my cellphone 
number is blocked, how to beg forgiveness 
publicly from her austere person, how to self-
flagellate to a degree where her punctilious 
judgement of such peasant behaviour will be 
overcome - until the most amazing reprieve 
replaces the justified wrath burning in her
sore-tried, deeply hurt, brimming heart?
