In the Service of Sanity

Fatima, 1917 -- world at razor's edge --

Heaven's grim plea hurtling through the decades ...

dismissed at 83 years.

From Rome, 2000, echoed

the sound of sanity breaking,

anchor let loose:

a muted and incongruous Third Secret

set adrift.

In reflexive protection of the mind,

and to a degree unknown to itself,

my soul -- now a mere onlooker at every Mass --

began to detach

from the Barque of St. Peter.
