Mary, the Throne of God, stands,
holding the Jesus babe
seeming
to thrust him forward
into his future
Perfectly aligned
in front of the pair of them –
the crucifix
the cross from which Jesus hangs
in perpetuity
How does a mother
thrust her son
into a future of certain
and painful
excruciating
death?
But isn’t that the lot
of all of us?
Mothers
pushing their children
into the future
ejecting them
into a rejecting
world?
yes.....
