Heartkeeping
Hear tell there’s a door to the heart. Might
be a cloud is covering it. Or clutter about the
walkway. Maybe a simple broom will do
the trick. As even Heaven has her Sweeper–-
She who smooths the folds of Her mantle–-roses
peek through. Each petal known. Inevitable,
Her unraveling
of the
Way
Even Sky has her sweeper
She who
In anticipation of the feast day of Our Lady of Guatalupe
mantle smoothed, roses
peek through -- inevitable
Her unraveling our way
