Pink Floyd was right all along

Her name is Eudoxia
a Franciscan nun
Sisters of charity
or of the incarnated word
 
her Goetia commands
serpentine ways
we would stand carefully paired
in straight blocks
 
at each start  
we didnt wear uniforms
though silenced by
authorities
 
one foot out
a single cough
and she would twist
an ear
 
iron clatter
keys rattling
teeth chatter
 
behold each lower ladder
one step back
forward
hold your chin up
 
chalk upon a blackboard
how blessed her Sacrament
het seal ring against the window
wavering obedient finger
her rosary shrines
 
stigmata  
I will not hold
my infant tongue
 
bonfire heart
bluebeard will take
upon me
as his seventh wife
 
all that is frightfully ugly
will become beautiful
we will find a bridge
called innocence
 
I have always known
a pixies wings
to be larger
than a fairies
 
so I chose the Olden ways
knowing there is purpose
I thank each lesson
 
Annwn!
