Betty is a dear friend of mine who I met at a holistic summer camp.  Betty is a kind and caring soul who also writes poetry.  Recently while leaving a local church she found a rosary bead and decided to write the following poem about her find.

Betty says "Here's a poem I wrote last Sunday after finding a crunched rosary getting back into the car at St Joseph's church parking lot. It must have been under the ice all winter and the snow/ice had melted by the time I returned to the car after a poetry reading meeting."

Rosary

Found. In St. Joe's car park
crunched by departing ice
crystals, salt, sunlight,
one mother-of-pearl artefact
from the 8th century, A.D.
sheen gone from years'
fingering 15 Mysteries
of the Blessed Virgin,
lips kissing crucifix
and homoncular Jesus.

 

Of broken relics remain:
two Our Fathers, Glory Be,
three first Hail Mary's,
a pair of decade beads,
the third, dangling,
like the freefall legs of Christ
flying off a footless cross.
