Christ had two Marys in His life,
the virgin and the
whore,
He loved them both,
the woman who became his mother
by immaculate conception
the woman who bore witness
to His death on the cross,
both Marys residing in most women,
giving choice to which they might be,
often fluctuating from one to the other
when we foolish and lustful men
(sometimes women)
go back and forth
from
wanting one or the other,
sleeping with the
women
who look up at us on
our self-created cross,
yet aching to spend
our lives with the other,
the Madonna who we
need to mother our children.
How does she do it,
being both,
when once she becomes
the one,
men won’t want her for the other,
except for those rare men
who like Christ
willing to embrace both as holy.
