SUPPLICATION
The sea took a sailor into its depths. -
His mother, unaware, goes to light
a tall candle before the Virgin Mary,
that he return soon and meet with fine weather-
all the while turning windward her ear.
But as she prays and supplicates,
the icon listens, solemn and sad, well aware
that he'll never come back, the son she awaits.
