OTHERY COPE
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars
(Revelations 12:1)
Who’s that a-sewing?
Ann the restorator
What’s she a-sewing?
Ask the restorator
A cope of the (indecipherable) sun

She was clothed with cords
and t ties
twisting out the sweating
minor volcanic
in the sewers of the ruins
the daughter-house
of the rere dorter
harebells in the runis

Who’s that a-sewing?
Ann the restorator
What’s she a-sewing?
Ask the restorator
A cloak of the (indecipherable) son

She was clothed with the sun
Mary the Virgin, Mary the engine
Origin and trenchant
More guy ses than sh®ines

she is the plasmic                                             centre stitches a-bursting
closed with the one                                          pome
                                                    granate

Who made the patches?
Who defines                            _______                                  the outlines?
Ann the restorator
Split between cope and car

Window through window
Push over Dis/
Solution
In the blue sky Scriptorum

Lady Justice said to me
She said, Christine
Tell me the truth
She said Tell me the truth

Show me the City
Show me the City
Of Ladies that you’ve built

Then Lady Justice
Led the Queen of Heaven
Into the highest tower
To greet all of us

She is clothed with a book
leaves dangling from her ear lobes
doubling her chin
folding on her belly
dancing on her navel
tasted with her seeds
pages gripped prehensile
letters on her (indecipherable)
                                                          scroll
