Here in the heart
of Mea Culpa County,
the girl who helped thunder
had nothing really
to do with the rain.
She was just a girl
standing in the shadow
of the cross,
who lit a blue candle
amid the high mountains.
Who knew love’s rhombus
proved proverb and vowel.
A girl of moon,
of infinite clouds
who had nothing at all
to do with the rain.
