Faith is not without worry or care,

But Faith is Fear that has said a prayer.

first autumn morning
the mirror I stare into
shows my father's face.

thinking of folks back home
he stops to buy postcards

...

lightning one candle
with another candle
an evening in spring

sing alleluia cantors
Easter vigil has ended

silent steps -
one more candle illuminates
the old chapel

she adjusts her head scarf
secured now with a hairpin

to sleep to dream of blossoms -
light curtains the dawn
