In The Beginning

when there was No Beginning

She wore The Disguise of White

with Little Red Sneakers

& A Red Bow in Her Hair

to lay out well-founded plans

for The Elliptical Spiral

to be seen from above

–

It was Black Jesus

who painted & stained

His way into Her Very Heart

& dressed Her in Black

with a see-through skirt

& Sash of Satin Red

in The End

when there was NO End
