you have ransacked
this beggar&#8217;s hut,
left me
nothing.
All I see
now
is the print
of your pilfering hand
everywhere.

		<description><![CDATA[Interestingly, there has been some debate in the last couple of decades about whether or not Catholic nuns should forgo wearing the habit entirely. Some feel that modest clothing and maybe a head covering is enough, while more traditional orders (particularly cloistered ones) have retained the full habit. Since I am neither a member of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=twilightandfire.wordpress.com&blog=5094668&post=539&subd=twilightandfire&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The ceremony was short and to the point, witnessed by ten people and held up in my room (a.k.a. the &#8220;Convent of the Red-Haired Interloper and Our Lady of the Pointy Boots,&#8221; which is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Loki and Hela).

If his face shines over my heart,
Flaming like the sun?
The Turks in his eyes charge through my soul,

Defeats faith.

The universe astounded.
