from glory

Her hair 

and hips and hands

curve to cup the mysteries

of God, held like a golden egg

that will hatch on the Day at Last

she will receive her face, her name, 

praises   from   the   King   Himself 

who made  her from her mother’s 

egg, painted her with the Lamb’s

own blood, and sealed her with 

the Spirit of power. The God 

of Abraham. God of Isaac.

God of Maria will raise

her hair and hips 

 and hands 

--from glory into Glory.
