we have lived on this

street longer than the

women wearing their

covered heads, feeling

more than once the rosary

they pray cleansing us

for life in the flesh. we

have made the yearly

trip to Delancey Street

to find the Jewish store

with clothes to buy for

cheap to wear to Easter

Services to say we are

changed. just last week

we gathered at the little

creek by the water that

renewed Joseph for three

years and cleansed pretty

Rosa when her belly got

real big and felt morning

stars. we have lived in this

town waiting for years to

grow wings to fly among

the clouds with other dark

faces, experience whistling

wind and come a bit closer

to God’s heavenly home.
