Joan's p.o.v

Hallelujah, one breath of life.

Parenthood, embraceable patience, the gift of sacrifice.

Holy communion, inevitable fatality.

Sacrilege, a life stuck in the crossfire.

Christ's beloved bride, redundant bright dark Madonna, ill-fated church of mine.

Fallen damaged innocence, irrecoverable past lives.

Continuous regrets, echoes of what could've

should've would've been, lingering ghosts.

Extraordinary patriotism, beautiful delirium.

Real true love, a burdensome blessing, the bittersweet truth.

Easy come, easy go, obstacles.
