    she found religion in silence.

    there wasn't a prophet's bone
    in her body, not a holy cell of skin, but
    somehow she was something
    to believe in. she called herself a woman, not an angel nor
    madonna, and the crucifix on her tongue could
    not make her hold her words.

    they called her witch and called her
    goddess, made of something
    such as marble, but she said she wasn't one
    to be revered -

    icons made of glass were
    made to break, she claimed she was not
    born to die;

    (silence is found in the loudest of tongues, for speaking is an art
    not all have learned-)
