AID OF THE MADONNA

Madonnas are everlastingly mothers in ecstacy.
Their alcove arms
retire the Felicity of their conception
from old and the disorderliness
of peril,
reproving harm.

Madonnas are aeon-moments of motherhood
- a moment is Time surrounded by itself -
in perpetuation of their beatitude,
their attitude
of smiling havens,
of sacred shelves.

Omitted omen of Calvary ?
Uncarved Crucifixion ?

Mina Loy
