Mary

Mary Matriarch,
Our Monarch,
You nourished Us
You mended Us.
We have thrived
under your
Mothering Devotion,
Your firm hand
and sharp tongue,
Clever, Clever
We wish to be,
like You.
Like the oil of olives
you released our essences
into the thick, watchful air
of our Home,
where lived Liberty of
Ottaviano.
