Herod to Mary
fly high the rose paper
hung by the door
slip back the slip.
Why did you call me Herod?
I called you once.
You didn't come.
We didn't kill him.
We never would.
Oh that again
you know well
he was an excerpt
a quotation
marked with
something that was more important
than the word itself.
Why worry?
You didn't come.
Eternity is a long time, Mary.
It grows on you
until you are not there at all.
Evidence is time.
Spaced out with evidence we are.
Mere blanks and bursts.
Measured out in foreign currency
that we let happen.
We shouldn't have.
Sei ganz ruhig.
I will.
