an Our Lady of Guadalupe coin polished by my thumb
a My Little Pony figurine and
a Bakugan sticker
all stuffed in the console of my car
Help me embrace the world with compassion
whatever you do to the least of us, you do to me, She says
Help me embrace others
you do not have to put yourself over others to be loved by me, She says
and every word I think
my exhaustions
my frailties
are polished by Her thumb, over and over
I am Her talisman.
