Our Lady of
Yanco
Mary
rendered in
concrete
stands
serenely in a block of the same stuff
inside the
sheltering niche of an upended bathtub.
She was built
to last – her salmon drapery applied
over two
consecutive weekends
to ensure the
undercoat dried completely
before the
laying on of her blue mantel
in All
Weather Exterior.
She’s only
faded slightly since then
mostly in the
face.
Who could be
blamed
for closing
their eyes
to the
rippling convection
of such
Summer sun?
