Equal Pieces

Then all of a sudden the wind ceased

Someone shut off the bathroom faucet

The secret agreement was consummated

The man with a finger on his lips

nodded “yes” The short woman

made the sign of cross with her hand

on the forehead of the sleeping child

I saw the shadow of her hand on the wall

between an Apollo lithograph

and the Crucifix embroidered in satin cloth
