MADONNA
LADY MADONNA
men are gesticulating menacingly i see them
in the rearview regularly my driving is not all
that it might be no doubt struggling with ptsd
the last lone-wolf attack in Nice has left me
scanning the streets for white cube trucks with
refrigeration
why did he rent a mini morgue? had he intended
to store the crushed bodies for experiments? no
that was Mengele wrong war Today i did see a white
truck +imagine it running amok in trinity bellwoods
park eviscerating the curated calm
when a woman runs smack into my car she hits with a
thud +falls to the ground then up on her feet she sprints
down queen street i make eye contact with the driver next
to me his eyes suggest a shrug of complicity?
i step out into traffic+honking +run my hand over the
madonna shaped dent i wonder if this speaks of a turning
point as marian apparitions often do

In the spring and summer of 1916, nine-year-old Lucia Santos and her cousins
were herding sheep near their home village of Fátima, Portugal. They claimed to
have experienced the visitation of an angel on three occasions. The angel identified
herself as “The Angel of Peace”. This visitation was deemed belief worthy in 1946.
