The Three Bald Monks
in the window
have journeyed from Uruguay
to daily direct my devotions.
Sebastian the beggar
with shaggy brows
and irresistible stare
implores my generosity.
Alfonso the chanter
whistles the Psalms while
Thaddeus kisses the cross
in semi-swoon.
They remind me
to take up my given cross
abide in the word
shelter under the mercy
wear sturdy shoes
and never worry
about wardrobe
or weight.
