THE TOUCH (Uncover These Wounds)

Image
I have fallen in a heap Of stones on the beach At the quieting of the evening Waters gathered up As milk in a basin  In the crook of a mother's arm A place to uncover wounds Wounds heavily bandaged Wounds un-nameable Wounds that I protect From touch for fear Of further pain too much For me to bear Uncover these wounds For I have run out of options Every treatment tried I am hemorrhaging And have not even strength To touch the hem of Christ But let The Touch come upon The waiting of the open sore That I have become I can do no more than wait now (Killiney Beach August 29, 2013)

MY FIRST BELONGING

Image
Relationship begins In Eternity Perfect pronouncement Of Name Unutterable Word You have made me For Yourself You are my first And present Belonging I have been made Unmarriageable By You And still I yearned For my child And You have heard My hankering And claimed me Still more As Your own
