Immersion
poem by
Juanita Alba
The true corruption of the youth.
The lamb.
The lily.
White forms of obedience.
A child before the eternal flame,
learning that her innocence is her offering.
To remain pure
is to remain close to God.
Holiness.
It is trained.
It is watched.
It is rewarded.
The fox and the cat softly arrive,
figures of deception dressed as guidance.
Pulling the strings of a dirty institution
Suffering appears early,
It’s ok it’s not violence,
just a painful instruction.
Guilt learns to speak.
Faith fills the air.
