THE HOLY COVENANT
OF OUR LADY OF THE LIGHT
My
mother dropped me
and as
my feet touched the ground
I made a
vow
to never
put my faith
in human
hands again
I
slipped though the cracks
and fell
into the night
and
there
in the
darkness
I beheld
an angel of light:
Her
heavenly body;
silent
as a star.
We kiss
with open mouths
Exchanging
wedding vows:
"Darkness for light
sadness for delight
death for everlasting life"
And in
the night,
a
shooting star
cuts the
sky like a scar.
