Bright wounds that bleed And weeping, weeping virgins; body parts Of useful saints that spring on cue to life, Before the footlights as behind, betray, As any objects of credulity Betray by simple objectivity Seen close enough in lighting strong enough. It does not take a Marxist expose Of murdered pregnant nuns to create doubt, And if today the stage is more inclined To credit Uncle Tom with sanctity Than Eva, all that means is, guilt is in And golden curls are out.
