RECONCILIATION (TO MY MOTHER), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A great star will fall into my lap
Last Line: A great star will fall into my lap.
Subject(s): Bible


A great star will fall into my lap...
We would hold vigil tonight,

Praying in languages
That are carven like harps.

We would be reconciled tonight—
So fully God overwhelms us.

Our hearts are only children,
Eager for weary-sweet slumber.

And our lips would kiss each other,
Why are you fearful?

Does not your heart border upon mine—
Your blood always dyes my cheeks red.

We would be reconciled tonight,
If we clasp each other, we shall not perish.

A great star will fall into my lap.
