a shadow comes off her when she forgets
to lie in wait--as one when there is no
one.
submission as much as movement,
answerlessness in the praying--grace in
the lack of sign.
the tentative quality of the miraculous,
as if something to be settled on--what's
everpresent.
a pearl white necklace worked
backwards, soft round breaths on the
curve of her spine.
every pearl a grace period...Fur Elise.
