The Annunciation
The dust in the air,
It dares not settle
On the gossamer vision
So poised and perfect.
Harbinger of a mortal process
Of blood and gristle,
That vapour from Heaven
Is already the key
To unlock the conception
Of a man
In the scope
Of an imperfect world.
The message is clear –
That the girl is the pinhead
On which shall balance
The future of the world,
That she is to crack
That fragile eggshell innocence
Surrounding His yolk
Of the whole salvation
Of humanity.
