UP THE STEPS

I didn’t know what fornication was
but it had to be bad
if Father Screamer was so adamant
about calling it out in his 6 a.m. homilies
to the staruszki who trudged
to St. Mary of Ostrabrama Church
every morning in their
sandpaper stockings and clodhoppers.
(Actually it was Monsignor Screamer,
but I didn’t know what that meant either.)

It was no Sistine Chapel but God
was there on the wall painted
into a throne of clouds lined with gold leaf
beside the Black Madonna.
A heavenly tenor lived in the choir loft
gracing every mass with earnest hymns.
Idyllic as the unscratched surface seemed to be
we left that parish when my sisters said
the nuns brandished rulers in class.
They may have been angels, left unharmed,
but I would have been crucified if only
for being born a left-handed black sheep.

Over the years, I mainly returned
for CYO games, weddings, and funerals.
When my grandfather, Adam, passed,
one of my uncles had to corral an altar boy
to whisper to the drunk priest to stop
calling him George in the rambling eulogy.
The saddest frozen winter morning
my cousins and I bore my grandmother
up the icy steps to the vestibule, stone-faced
until one of us wondered out loud
how the little matriarch was doing, jostled
and tilted at forty five degrees in the casket.
After mass, as we headed back to the stairs
the priest pointed to the elevator
and we were like, doh, what a kick in the pants.

i don't know if i can begin to explain how much this means to a Polish American who is Gen X. Lech Walesa was HOPE in the same way Nelson Mandela was.

no #PolishAmerican should be pro-47 after this letter. NOT ONE.

Just visited the St. Louis Holocaust Museum. The parallels to our current timeline are right there on the walls for all to see. The scapegoating, the propaganda, the politics of appeasement (enabling Russia). Survivors warned us for 80 years. Never occurred to me we wouldn’t listen. #PolishAmerican
