   Pesach

   Already the angel of death is passing over
   your house–your door marked with the
   bloody sacrifice and your windows sealed
   against the hovering plagues. The closeness
   of beating wings demands your attention.
   You say “I need to be
   transformed” and so you are–
   re-sculpted in the flesh,
   scars wrapping you like a
   talisman against the evil eye.
   This must be
   the narrow place you are
   passing through, to be reborn
   as one who knows the sound of
   a silent warning overhead, as one
   who knows the wounded body
   can be carried into battle
   with perfect beauty,
   more holy, more whole.

   for Lauren

   Stunning.

   Watching Marge Piercy work is an amazing experience for me.

   Thanks for this view of my long-time writing heroine.
