Mercy

A singer starts to sing
a guitar, piano and violin
and she lies down on the old floor
in the dark
at the back of the church
in the house of
Mary Magdalene and Yeshua
she surrenders
hands hold and caress her
music envelops her
tears run down her cheeks
like holy rivers
as she deeply longs for home
she longs for him
