'masks worn by all' timothy r g, 2/5/2008 (for friend and reposed brother)
masks, worn by all,
some, few, when they remove theirs - it is still the same, trueness,
guilessness, beauty whispers
tears are a chrism for the unbaptized,
then she moves closer and speaks,
intuitional presence,
'we all come through the flood,
birthed into this space by baptismal
waters, the womb our first nest,
gives way to us all our next one.'
these are what i like to call,
as i do to my children,
'happy tears.'
