A Candle Has Been Lit

Passing by a cathedral on 52nd street
An elderly, early morning woman marches...
The stairways are the candles she firmly lights;
the slurred prayers...slipping planks of reason
Sputteringly spooked
(....I think of you)
amongst the resolution of these absolutions
like a debilitating disease........
In a world fragmented on the fragile precipice
of these realities and truths
