God attended a Lamaze class
with a teenager too afraid
of the judgmental looks to go alone,
and quietly smiled at the instructor eyeballing
the strange pair – a barely-there slip
of a girl and a gentleman with kind
hands. He led her to a woman named
Mary, who had her first child
at thirteen in a less accepting
time, when the condemnation
was worse than the morning sickness.

Croon.
And you will have my arms around you
long after the first frost
silences the crickets
that played us to sleep
through our first summer,
and their children
and the children of theirs
will play those same songs
as creases form and deepen
beside our eyes.
And I know this because
of our childish jokes
and because of the words
we are writing.
Yes,
there’s something about
these kisses hitting their marks
from thousands of miles away
eliciting rouge beneath pale;
childlike dispositions.
I see on your face
the dumbfounded grin
I feel spreading across my own,
our bodies built
to correspond:
puzzle pieces
scattered by the hand of fate

Her Catalyst
As she walks through the maelstrom, the words trace upon the tips of her fingers and press into the stone. Every brick, every crack in the concrete, every crossed and angular stroke in reds and blacks and oranges. The drips of the gasoline pool around the base of her boots, slosh as she steps over the burst pipes and the rubble.
So much rubble. So little outcry. The silence of the city grates on her eardrums and the mantras she'd been forced to memorize. The Seers demanded they observe thirteen years of recitation before they attempt to weave their first World together.
But who other than the Seers can claim the incantations that knot

Luke 1: 26-28
In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
Mary is usually depicted as a woman in art, but more scholarly sources believe she was still a teenager, possibly as young as thirteen, when she gave birth. Some doctrine holds that as a completely sinless person, Mary ascended into heaven without ever dying. Translated literally, "Theotokos" means "God-bearer" - less literally, "Mother of God."

Wonderful. I love the personification of all the individuals in this.
I think I found a typo - "an gentleman with kind hands."
