within the border
of margined hallelujahs
read the carefully scripted names

of damned & blessed
of sick & poor
of lonely & childless
of faithful & faithless

broken spine
cellophaned taped
to hold worrry in place

buzz of dreams
whispered to saints
and deity

tear specked pages
where wind-whipped lips
kissed a savior’s image

dust-laden on the table
next to her silent chair

so much of her left behind
in the annal of her love
