Yosef sees his fiance’s belly swollen with child.
Yosef’s love moves him to divorce Miriam quietly.
The child’s body and blood, even before he takes a breath,
breaks his parents apart
until Yosef’s love for Miriam inspires him to dream
that a messenger from God is the father of Miriam’s child--
for of course all parents are messengers from God.
Miriam agrees.
Yosef and Miriam’s ecstasy as they dance when they marry
transforms their disgrace into joy
for all couples however they couple.
