Hanging on the cross in great suffering,
Jesus cried into the heavens:
Woman, behold your son!


Ceaselessly she beholds all,
Yet none can hold her gaze.  
Time is her filigreed looking glass.
In her reflected eyes:

Now is here.
Here is everlasting.
And here she is.
 
From outside side itself,
She beholds her son,
The son of a lover long-gone,
The son of some god.

Vastly and immaculately she sighs,
returns to her looking glass,
and reclines into all creation.
