My love prayer
left my lifeline
through unholy steeples
to a bitter bloodied orphan.
God is a good listener
his sign language silence
the rain tells me doom
his answer in brail.
Jesus lays buried in me
varnishing my eyes
watching me cry
the way he did for Magdalene.
Our light of life
is in darkness
is in me
God help you all
the way God helped his own.
