what love can do --

if you live life, you Know Love; hers

is a Subtle Reminder of the way you

look when you behold

her in your Mother’s Eye; Passion

in a Lover’s kiss – her

Sensate windings in the brush

beat back

the horde of Crazed Idolaters turning

them into roughgrained

sand in your Palm; her Sense

of your knowing is Engendered in the Care

she Stores for You on

this distant Shore the Edge

of all Creation, the Merging out and

into her Deliverance – Violent

Winds blow back

in Sudden inspiration the weighty boughs

bowing in the

Summer Air – You

can Hear Her there Reciting

the Verses of your unsung

glory, Her height yours

to Magnify. . .
