THE POLLEN OF PRAYER

'Creating Order'  by  Trish

There is  sunflower, rich with pollen,
and there is the light from the candle,
rich with the fire of flame.

There are rosary beads, pressed hard,
to a soft mouth.
The beads wound her deeply as she prays,
prays for her family, and for all.

SAVED BY A PASSING GLANCE

There are a thousand eyes in the great head.

'Circling Precision'  by  Trish

All blind, and just as well too,
for how else would one escape?
Escape the devouring blindness,
that casts about,
up and down,
in and out.
