WHAT A POWERFUL IMAGE for this week's Magpie Tales. A favorite saint, lead me on....
ST. MANDOLIRA *
I will be a saint one day too,
threading a needle of hope
and genuflected to.
Martyrs haven't owned this title yet,
the Patron Saint of Worker Bees
and Violins.
For the amber flow
of honey
in a hexagon geometry,
pray to me.
If you play a Stradivari,
do the same.
Saints give up their skeletons,
I pluck a string
with a sliver of mine.
My world is a reliquary,
I have holy bones too,
and bless the honeyed tea.
*Mandolira...a musical instrument.
