She sat with Him
held within her loving arms
the crucified body of Christ
our Messiah, May’s baby boy.
Her gaze given a new focus
ensnared in strings of
gossamer
obscuring the body of Christ
in the words of the spider.
Speaking in lines that she
drew
painted on the face of the
Madonna;
The visage of sadness set
off
in the meshed strings of
gossamer.
