First Communion in the Virus-Time

 

For Veronica

 

True Ikon of the Lord

 

A little girl’s mantilla is a crown

A crown an empress might covet for herself

Wore she not her own First Communion mantilla

Forever within the recesses of her heart

 

A little girl’s white cotton dress is a robe

A royal robe of courtly majesty,

Worn in the presence of her Lord and King

 

A little girl on First Communion day

Awes even the angels in her imperium
