Unending Mending



Before I take a breath

my body and blood destroy love:

by swelling my mother Mary’s womb

I move her fiancé Joseph to divorce her.

Fortunately Joseph’s love for Mary

inspires him to hear in a dream

that a messenger from god is my father.

When Joseph and Mary marry

we move people who know us

when disconnected

to connect imaginatively.
