Economy of Grace

In the economy of grace—
where roses form beds
she brought forth two children
the first, perfect
the second, less
when the Lord God breathed into their nostrils
they were created

her husband stopped breathing

she kept on living
smelled a rose
took a breath,
held out her hand
and walked with God
in the city.
