Rosaries Might be Like Ball-Point Pens
Rosaries might be like ball-point pens
A souvenir for you from Brighton Beach
Fabrique en Chine, blessed by the Bishop of Rome
A kind thought from gap years and honeymoons
But now those rosaries and ball-point pens
Repose in stasis beneath your Sunday socks
And the handkerchiefs Mee-Maw monogrammed
In silk for your high school graduation
Go find them
(No, no, not the socks or handkerchiefs...)
Words flung onto paper are gifts of light
And so are Aves whispered in the night
