Grace and Gravity: Message from Mary

Nouvelle Lune, ©2011  Soasig Chamaillard

believe me, I adapt
carry me with you
then and now I bring
some substance
to the ins and outs
of living

this throwing-me-away
no-longer-needing
is a ruse
won’t stop the bleeding
(je m’excuse)
is self-defeating

the air is getting thin
all up in here
count down, lift off
fly free
but do remember
space  can  leave  a  void

and gravity is grounding
woos the oxygen
beware out there
the molecules are few
and   far   between
the grace unseen

so wear your helmet
like a rosary
breathe in, reach out
and keep me
keep The Baby, maybe
even keep the bath

it’s holy water
