from Love Letters to God
“You run like a herd of luminous deer, and I
am dark, I am forest.” Rilke

1.
I believe in
Soul
the great ocean of it
married to life
shining out
everywhere
A soft April
rain
whispers
remember
remember
remember me

2.
Two tiny
shards of a broken dish
fit into one
Minoan
flower
that ancient
artist speaks
through the
dust to my soul

3.
Silence is a
gift of unheard music
a baby joy
without words.
Who can net the connectedness of everything?
…its strange mortal-eternal dance?

in
Baltimore, a soggy August day
hot
sidewalks hissing a mist
lights just
beginning to come on
a dancer
jives,
turns, writhes and leaps
higher, then
lower, then higher
all the way
to the bouncing stars
if she comes
back
she’ll never
be the same

5.
Evensong in
my cathedral
where the
saints are all those I loved
enshrined in
their own music
a woman-god
service
teaching
surrender, fearful
or fearless,
just letting go
into who
knows what
a servant
going in
peace
