The Dread of an Apparition
The most effective means
of avoiding a death fright
by apparition
might have been my blanket
but for the thinness of its cover
and the need to obey
Heaven's commands
which do not stop at blankets.
The problem was Mary's
predilection for teens
and my undoubted piety.
Therefore I can say
without any hesitation,
my earliest plans to reject Catholicism,
thereby putting myself
safely beyond the fence,
were due to apparitions;
their lightning
and ghastly messages.
