This is a fantastic poem, Megan. I thought even more highly of it when I read your description and saw it was ekphrastic.

“Let me hold onto the hem of your wing

until I learn to live in this same room,

with these same clothes, and me,

Mother of God, not alone.”

Short and oh-so-powerful! Loved this piece, Megan.

Thank you, Rosa! As I get older, my poems get shorter.

So grateful we get to share in A Thrill of Hope together.

I’d say that’s probably wisdom that comes with age… knowing what to say with less amount of words!!
