part of the old fabric – v3

threadbare, perhaps,
but still remaining
strands of evil
scars of memory
within the new body
part of the old fabric
of the flesh, of sin
not cut from the cloth
woven within, intertwined
as the wheat and tares
growing in the garden together

my body, my life
as much as I want to
to be rid of my past
the choices remaining
consequences that last
that remind me, forgiven;
but a millstone we carry
part of the old fabric
that we still wear within us
threadbare, perhaps,
but remaining still
