the sun appears and there is green grass in the picture under glass
a small farmhouse, a cherry tree and children playing
dressed in primitive art colours
a painting in my erstwhile home.
this is more beautiful than the letter of the law
and has made of my heart a valentine with all the doves
oh what can the letter of the law achieve
the cold contract
the lease that grieves and shocks and aftershocks
oh God I thank you for covenants
for the unquenched spirit free as light
for that which does not break my heart into pieces
as though it were kindling.
you are in violation of your lease
the baseless letter read with its super vague charge
of lack of housework
in triplicate lies.
oh Mary has chosen the better part
greenly whispered the Holy Ghost
recalling the sweet words of Christ
"which shall not be taken from her."
what lease I said to God Almighty.
we have a covenant.
