Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God



our lady of the snow


you open your mouth

and a light comes out


like stars, like a moon

burst open, bitten into

like a strawberry


against white skin

which is a myth


in and of itself


you are an apparition

a hallucination on the mountain


a motherly hand

guiding the bullet’s path


a face in the fog

a statue with tears


a way to communicate

beyond airwaves



how did the sky

know you were ready?


tell me how

to let the light in
