Sisterhood
Desperate names
She of fore came
Good town of wood
Down to the front porch

Being women over gales
Of Wales and thickly quails
In Kansa corn growing woman
Against the breaker of winds

As best father material for raising a son
Women of pride Francis

In nich lance lovescape
Crucified on the
Thighs of daughterss
Five sisterly mercies wild
As water stained in the Rocky’s mines
Sisterhood divine as a life of dawns

She outright brain of words
A rose is a rose of holy words
Tiny as toy nuns women in
The womb conceived by a maid

He born of the womb
Some angel stiffed Mary
With his burden tender
As child’s prayers
