+--------"Pregnant With  Justice; The Thoughts Of The Virgin Mary After The Angel Gabriel Left Her Presence"

I rub my hands together
before the fireplace as if my
soul is kneading hope, baking
bread of scorn, yeast rage, loaf
of two hundred years’ disdain of Assyria
Babylon and Rome. And this winter wind
chills to the bone. I think of Caesar’s
children warm, buffered by
window panes, the glass a crass
soldier’s shield protecting perks and
pomp of the privileged. And my hut has
no glass pane as most Jewish people
have no hope…teeth chattering
and dying with the seasons. Stiff fingers
of bitter soul, chapped lips of the heart.
The angel said a child must be virgin
born of me to save us from our plight…
this is welcome news. I have waited
patiently for this; When the power
structure of “The Modern World
Empire” inverts, and the oppressed
wield all the power. The Blessed day
when King David again reigns….
and Caesar turns slave. Groveling.

----Luke 1:46-55
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
