Miracle

   Rain in paradiseyou talk of miracles: eyes shineskin gleams you sweat theVirgin Mary water to winebread to body high on prayerthe mass lingers. Rain on mahoganyyou spin your tale you journey witha flawed myth blood to winestigmata always blood drips fromcatholic shrine across the agesyou talk of miracles it rains in paradiseI suspend belief this one time.
