She was found to be pregnant
          from the Holy Spirit.
                            —Matthew 1.18

The virgin birth may mean the child
is straight from God.

It may mean that Mary could bear the Divine
without anyone else’s help.

It may mean that God’s grace
is unprecedented, without cause.

It may mean that all we know
is so shallow as, at times, to be wrong.

It may mean that you, too, are susceptible
to the irruption of the Holy.
