! The Grace Of Metaphor

When a metaphor on blessed wings
flies to the heart like Mary’s dove

or when you seek it, you grimed with earth,
in the darkest places of the heart

still you must examine it with a surgeon’s skill;
probe; bleed; question; diagnose

before you ask of it, consent
to grace your magnificat.
