quiet their clattering tongues—
women in mourning

Not all sorrows are the same.

Three Virtues
Wellton Memorial Cemetery, Wellton, Arizona
To submit one’s hope
to her who bore the Baby
is not a lost cause.
She will instruct you
in the tangled ways of love—
you have naught to fear.
Finding faith renewed
is the highlight of her way—
every pilgrim knows.
