On Being a Woman
Being a woman has everything to do with Mary.
I do not care whose mother she was,
But on Michelangelo's "Pieta,"
she sits tense astride,
As if regiving birth before he died.
He is not a saviour,
he is just her son.
The artist had those
softspoken hands to make the
edge of her clothing feel real to my eyes;
Un - dry.
Her tears were more innocent than
Jesus ever could have been.
