the nuns at St. Thomas More

on the edge
of the concrete playground,
fenced in,
they stood guard.
black robed.
hands folded in front
of them,
below the hanging crosses.
eyes resting
on no one.
they surveyed the children.
the red ball
flying.
they were distant, aloof,
were they thinking
about love,
about God,
about their own childhood
now gone?
