Hail Mary
trapped in poverty, ignorance, and submissive traditions
Full Of Grace
and all that might have been
The Lord Is With Thee
whether you want him or not
Blessed Art Thou Among Women
it’s not rape if you’re anointed first
And Blessed Is The Fruit Of Thy Womb
because your worth
is all about your uterus
and what it does or does not do
Jesus
fucking christ
Holy Mary
because “molested Mary”
is too long an etching for a stained glass window
Mother Of God
because “child victim of a sex crime”
is almost a given in christ’s church
Pray For Us Sinners
all the Marys – get off your knees
Now
right now
And At The Hour Of Our Death
and all the hours before
we stand and we say
no
Amen
