Makeless Maiden


By Jonathan Hunter-Kilmer

ever expanding universe

stars to surround

a tuneful verse

human but soul

unbound by thought

made to rebel

resist onslought

crowned by the quasar

nova

tail

nacent and comet

bread, then grail

find what once held

Your body

raised

first from the earth

Heaven amazed

grateful we sprawl

unbound explore

learning to love

and live and more

following quiet glory

hers

draped in the grace

not heretofore

Lover

Whose mother

wept and kept

moving Your word

though all earth slept

fire from Heaven

wombed

interred

bringing to You

Love's wrath incurred

leading away from ground

unmade

unfettered

I You love

repayed

by One so wounded

mourned

and lost

into her arms

Your flesh

souls tossed

and by her hands

Your bower dressed

Love bring me home

where our Queen rest
