I like apology letter poems such as William Carlos Williams’ This is Just to Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast.
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold.
(and songs like the Decemberists Apology Song.
Let’s write some of those.
Seropoli 
Modeled after W.C.W.
I let the vegetables
you gave me
rot in the ‘fridge.
I hope you
don’t mind.
it’s just that,
there were too many
and
I am so
mad at you
for letting
our affection
rot in limbo.

If last night was any indication,
You are upset with me.
Never has anyone said such things to me and
laid them out quite as bare and blunt as you.
Your characters: cleverly cast.
Your invective: intimately incisive.
While I slept
you spoke words I’d never say
outloud
Even though I knew them already.
I’m sorry.
I know you’d take it back,
If some part of me didn’t fear it was true.
