I keep a rosary dangling from my rear view mirror
Pendulous representation something far away superior
Simple rosewood relic blood droplets linked with rope
So gaunt yet so strong, this thin taut tendon of hope
Looking ever forward and slightly to my right
Guarding a sort of blind spot with its beacon of light
Vigilant. Unlike some talisman's rabbit’s foot hold
More akin to a family photo nesting in you billfold
Fortunate me! This rosewood emblem looks the other way
Unworthy as I so often am to gaze upon that face today
Let me fain retain a visual of a spear- torn side in sight
Behold one blood sopped brow recall one Holy Roman night
