*vigil For Bishop Oscar Romero In San Antonio Comments

Through the course of the day this poem would revisit me. I realize one thing I like about it is that it's not just a memorial to a man's life and death, it's a memorial to the memorial. I like the way it honors the subject who has passed while documenting the honoring of him. The romantic image of his passing followed by the everyday details of those memorializing him. Honoring the past recognizing the future. Caring for the child. Nice.

Thank you for this beautiful memorial poem. Your images are strong without being heavy handed. I feel like I was there.
