Very evocative. Thanks for posting this, Sharon. And thanks to Ray for writing it. One of those poems that improves with multiple readings and almost begs to be read aloud.

The memories of Catholic Shrines and the Sacred Architecture of Saints or ambiance could fade in 20 or so years, 2030. Question: will there still be a Pope, pizza with the Virgin Mary’s face peeping through the tomato sauce and anchovies? The commonplace stuff of life or Staff Of Life make catholic relics and miracles loveable and quaint and sometimes lamentable. Dear Brother André, did he know in his heart and soul, the terror of humankind and did his prayers wash away the tears? The visit of a friend hopefully a companion in the purist sense. Everbody needs somebody, sometime!
