Our Lady (The City)

Our Lady (The City)

She seizures

from time to time.


Her body tosses,

releasing stress.


She can’t help it.


We cower

in those moments,

terrified by her strength.


She offers no apology,

none is needed.


We have always known

her condition,

we just look the other way.


We always need the reminder.


She keeps us close

as we return to the

comfort of the controllable.
