RAISSA MARITAIN TIME

Unveiled poet of mercy
lioness of Judea's soul
by the crossroads
of addressing the earth

needing rain
in a silent word

praying as sounds
of whispering winds
on terrible days and nights
over shameless broken glass
on 1945 nails on the tree
by the terror
between warring angels

you are a drop
of sunshine
Christ on eyelids
of ice angels
from wheel barrels
carried by millions
along Notre Dame.
