Joseph To Mary, After The Birth. Poem by Roy William Gotaas

Joseph To Mary, After The Birth.



The nightmare was not simply that I stood in bedlam,

Not the noise and jostling only that oppressed me,

Or the pawing adulation of the visitors.

The real horror was that I couldn’t rise,

To match the roaring gift of your eyes.




The pigeon should be an eagle, who brings these words.
